PCC 350 Exam 1 Flashcards
3 factors required to observe object color
Light, object, observer
additive color mixing
Red, green, blue; mixing primaries = white (reflects all color)
subtractive color mixing
cyan, yellow, magenta; mixing primaries = black (absorbs all color)
additive example
tv, monitors
subtractive example
dye, paints
anomalous trichromatism
using 3 primary colored lights to match colors, but needs more help to figure it out
protanomals
needs more red to match R & G
deuteranomals
needs more green to match B&Y
tritanomals
needs more blue to match B&G
dichromatism
Only need 2 primaries to match colors, one blue primary and another at any wavelength longer than green
Protanopia
lack of functioning red cones
Deuteranopia
lack of functioning green cones
Tritanopia
lack of functioning blue cones
Monochromatism
unable to perceive one color; match colors by adjusting brightness; can only see black and White
Rod monochromatism
Behave as though they have no cone vision; average illumination levels appear too bright must wear dark spectacles
Cone monochromatism
Behave as though they have normal cone vision but can’t perceive color
Photopic vision
Color vision in daylight
Scotopic vision
night (dominates in dim light)
