On the Color Constancy of Vision

May 31st, 2005  |  No Comments »

The unique color constancy of the human visual process is explained by precise mid-band (green) wavelength interacting at a “geometrically-defined” point on the retina at 7 1/2 degrees of retinal angle. No matter how the optical spectrum incident on the eye changes, color is determined by a ratio of intensities on either side of this fixed point as Land predicted.
