Color and human color perception

• Illuminant spectral power distribution: abbr SPD
• Spectral reflectance
• Human color vision
  • Our visual system tries to “adapt” to illuminant. We may interpret the same retinal color very differently.

Retinal color space

Spectral Sensitivity Function: abbr SSF

SSF of human eye

• The human eye is a collection of light sensors called cone cells.
• There are three types of cells with different spectral sensitivity functions. (Short Medium and Long, named after the wavelengths of light they
  are most sensitive to)
• Human color perception is three-dimensional
