David Briggs: The Dimensions of Colour
In colour education, colour is usually described as hav ing three attributes or dimensions, most commonly synonyms, more or less, of hue, lightness and chroma. Just three attributes suffice to describe colour as long as we only consider a single mode of colour appearance, such as colours of objects, but other attributes come into play when we must also consider colours of light. The CIE defines six attributes of perceived colour, and their definitions, based on work published in the late 1970’s by R. W. G. Hunt, have been essentially stable in the International Lighting Vocabulary from its 1987 edition through to the current edition, published late last year. But despite this very long period of stability of the standard scientific nomenclature, I’ve observed that the distinctions between these six CIE-defined attributes are often poorly understood even by very experienced colour educators, and so I’d like to share a selection of the illustrations and explanations that I’ve found useful in communicating these concepts in my courses.
