Book description

This book offers detailed coverage of color, colorants, the coloring of materials, and reproducing the color of materials through imaging. It combines the clarity and ease of earlier editions with significant updates about the advancement in color theory and technology.
  • Provides guidance for how to use color measurement instrumentation, make a visual assessment, set a visual tolerance, and select a formulation
  • Supplements material with numerical examples, graphs, and illustrations that clarify and explain complex subjects
  • Expands coverage of topics including spatial vision, solid-state lighting, cameras and spectrophotometers, and translucent materials
