Colorimetry, the science of quantitively describing color, is essential for color reproduction technology because it creates standards by which to measure color, using mathematical techniques and software to ensure fidelity across media, allow accurate color mixing, and to develop color optimization. This book is a comprehensive and thorough introduction to colorimetry, taking the reader from basic concepts through a variety of industrial applications. Principles such as color specification, the CIE system, and color vision and appearance models are set out in clear, easy-to-follow terminology.
