Light and Color
• What is Color?ASTM E284• color, n—(1) of an object, aspect of object appearance distinct from
form, shape, size, position, or gloss that depends upon the spectral composition of the incident light, the spectral reflectance or transmittance of the object, and the spectral response of the observer, as well as the illuminating and viewing geometry.
• (2) perceived, attribute of visual perception that can be described by color names such as white, gray, black, yellow, brown, vivid red, deep reddish purple, or by combinations of such names.

Light Source
• Light• Light is a form of energy also
known as visible light. Light is a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which covers an extremely broad range, from electrical and radio waves to microwaves and gamma rays.
• Visible light represents a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The relative insensitivity of the human eye limits the visible portion of the spectrum to a very narrow band of wavelengths between approximately 380nm to 760nm.

Light Source
• Light Energy• White light is dispersed into its component colors by refraction.• The angle of deviation varies with wavelength.

Light Source
• Chromaticity and Color Temperature• Color temperature is the absolute temperature T (K) which a blackbody or
perfect radiator would emit light of a certain color. The color of the emitted light changes from red to yellow to white as the temperature increases.

Visual Color Management
• Light Source Selection• Use established industry procedures or standards that specify specific light
sources and viewing practices. • Choose light sources that fit your specific application. • Specify color temperature, SPD, CRI, CIE Assessment and lamp technology.• Everyone must agree to use the same light sources and procedures.

Visual Color Management
• Metamerism
• Samples appear to match under daylight viewing conditions but do not match under other lighting conditions.

Visual Color Management
• Visual Color Evaluation LimitationsThe reason for the use of instruments• Visual color evaluation is subjective.• Observers have differing color vision and color opinions.• Color differences are difficult to quantify and communicate.• Many variables need to be controlled including light intensity, angle of view,
surround color, light source quality etc.
![Page 21: Color Seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102804/540ba4eb8d7f726a208b46e5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

22
Visual Color Management
• Proper Visual Color Evaluation Requires;• Selection of the correct light source(s).• Viewing booth must be kept clear of extra samples.• Samples should be placed inside the light booth.• Orient Standard and Sample in same direction, side by side, touching.• Depending upon gloss of the samples, determine a standard viewing
geometry.• Limit the amount of ambient light flooding the viewing booth.• If assessor is wearing brightly colored clothing, a neutral lab coat should be
worn during assessment.• If assessor wears glasses with tinted lenses, they should be removed for the
assessment.

SCI: • Includes all angles of illumination • Measurement independent of sample surface (gloss or texture) • Measurement of true color • Sample must touch the sphere • Widely used for color matching
SCE: • Good correlation with visual assessment • Characterizes effects of sample surface • Non-contact possible, for on-line applications • Values similar to 0/45, depending on gloss level

Color Measurement
• Color Difference
• Color difference is the numerical comparison of trials to the standard.• It indicates the difference in absolute color coordinates between a trial and a
standard.• Differences are called Deltas (L*, a* b*).• Deltas for L*, a* or b* may be positive or negative.• Delta E must always be positive. • Delta E only indicates the magnitude of a total color difference but does not
indicate how to correct it.

Color Measurement
• Creating a Color Tolerance in CIEL*a*b*
• Tolerances typically should be established for each component, DL* , Da* and Db*.
• DE* can be used for tolerances, provided the user evaluates individual attributes.
• These tolerances do not have to be symmetrical.

Color Measurement
• Creating a Color Tolerance in CMC• CMC is based on visual acceptability.• Key to success is the acceptability ellipsoids vary in shape and size
depending upon the color of the standard.
• CMC enables the same tolerance value (DECMC) to be used for all colors.

Visual Color Management
• Visual Assessments• Establish a numeric and visual tolerance that everyone can achieve• Remember your eyes see color non-uniformly.• Avoid global color tolerances• Acceptable not perceptible• Avoid submitting a “Perfect” Sample• Avoid “Concession Color”

57
Visual Color Management
• Color Communication• Develop guidelines internally for consistent communication of color
assessments and directions.• No % should be used in descriptions.
Example:
Hue descriptions - Red, Green,Yellow or Blue
Chroma descriptions - Bright or Dull
Value descriptions - Light or Dark
Adjectives - Very, Moderately or Slightly

Instrumental Color Management
• Physical Standards• Represents the target color (Ideally, in the same medium on the same
substrate)
Advantages• Allows for visual comparison• Decreases dependency on absolute agreement between color measuring systems
Disadvantages• May change over time (deterioration, handling)• May be difficult to produce or obtain several pieces that match

Visual and Instrumental Color Management
• Phases of a Color Quality Program• Design & Color Specifications • Color Matching & Formulation• Visual & Instrumental (Hardware/Software) Analysis• Quality Control of the Color Manufacturing Process• Applications Procedures & Methods• Training & Education• Understanding the Customers Preferences
