		(3) attribute of a visual perception, produced by an object color that permits a judgment to be made of the amount of pure chromatic color present, irrespective of the amount of achromatic color.
		In color measurement, a sample is measured over a white background, then over a fl background and the ratio expressed either as a perctentage (where 100% = complete opacity) or as a ratio to 1.

		Colors that are produced with a single wavelength have all their intensity at a single spot on the x axis, while other colors contain a mix of wavelengths.
		Color has been found to be three-dimensional, which means that any three colors can be used to describe a color space as long as a combination of two of the colors cannot be used to produce the third.
		The saturation of the color is the ratio of the distance from the point to the edge of the graph and the distance from the point to white.

		The further the color loci of the primary colors from the origin, the greater the volume of the cuboid color gamut which is formed and thus the higher the quality of any color reproduction system which is based on it.
		Hue determines the position on the color wheel or color circle, Saturation is the purity of the color, and Luminance the range of lightness to darkness of the color.

	Webvision: Color Vision. by Peter Gouras
		Color and all vision are in a sense illusory depending only on messages that pass between millions of neurons that reside within the darkness of our skull.
		I suggest neural circuitry underlying the perception of color in the retina, lateral geniculate and striate cortex and beyond.
		Evidently the processing of a fl and white (achromatic) image requires almost as much neural power as the processing of a color image: perhaps like a color television, where much more information is transmitted for the pattern than for the color of the image.

		Nevertheless, color matching tests demonstrate that he has color vision, inasmuch as he can distinguish chromatic colors as a group from whites, grays and fls, although he is quite unable to match colors with respect to hue.
		His defects in the perception of contour (vide infra, Contour vision), led to the abandonment of this method, since the two fields would "run together" into a homogeneous blur of light, especially when their brilliances were anywhere near equality.

		Now the fl sectors are no fler than the dark interval, hence the flicker is produced by the white sectors alone; consequently the same field fuses under Hartmann's conditions more easily when it is a ground than when it is a figure.
		If we allow the level to vary the same amount of light in the figure may arouse a fl, a gray or a white, as can easily be proved by Hering's "hole method," and the same is true if we take color into consideration.

		Note also that our perception of intensity is nonlinear, with changes of normalised intensity from 0.1 to 0.11 and from 0.5 to 0.55 being perceived as equal changes in brightness[2].
		In other words, the perception of colour is an entirely arbitrary creation of our nervous system, and is in no way contained in the wavelengths themselves[4].
