Contrast effect of colors and textures Part 1: Subjective contrast of the visual difference between chromatic patch and the background of N7

摘要

This research aimed at understanding the contrast effect of surface color and texture used for living environments. We define the subjective contrast as the subjective and comprehensive differences between a patch and its background. We carried out an experiment in which subjects selected the combination of an achromatic patch and achromatic background that had the same visual differences as a test patch and its background. The results clarified the relation between subjective contrast and surface color. Subjective contrast is high with higher Munsell value and chroma.
