Chromatic adaptation has been studied by applying methods of direct scaling to color appearances of invariant stimuli seen under different conditions of adaptation. The influence on color appearance of correlated color temperature of illumination, sample luminance factor, illuminance, and surround induction was studied. Perceived hue [expressed as proportions of unitary hues] varies with color temperature of illumination but not significantly with luminance factor or illuminance for the conditions of these experiments. Colorfulness varies with color temperature and also with luminance factor and illuminance, although relative colorfulness does not change significantly with illuminance. Lightness varies with luminance factor but is essentially independent of color temperature and illuminance over the ranges investigated here. Achromatic and chromatic lightnesses for samples of equal luminance differ in systematic ways that depend upon dominant wavelength and excitation purity. Color appearance data for daylight adaptation are highly correlated with Munsell Renotation specifications. The results may be used to determine corresponding colors for the adaptation conditions studied [equivalent to CIE Illuminants D 65 , D 50 , A, and dark adaptation]. They may also be used to determine color appearances under those conditions throughout a color solid. It is anticipated that they will be used as the basis for developing mathematical expressions for predictions of corresponding colors under other illumination conditions as well.
