Depth perception is known lo be impaired for chromatic equiluminam patterns. To investigate this phenomenon I have compared the effects of hinocularly presented stimuli in the form of stripes, which contain only luminance information with similarly presented stimuli which contain on to chromatic information. Observations of the reported percepts for the two conditions demonstrate that mechanisms of colour vision tan impede stereopsis based on binocular fusion when the chromatic stripes are at, or even near, equiluminance, provided that their saturation is high. This observation is consistent with inhibitory interactions within the chromatic‐sensitive neuronal groupings in the visual cortex.
