Representing color in artificial color systems and in human psychophysics

This review of foreign publications over the last 10-15 years is devoted to a comparison of color representations in colorimetrically constructed colo r systems and atlases and in the human color-vision system. It shows that t here are critical problems associated with identifying color in objective r epresentations (colorimetry, modelled color systems) and subjective represe ntations (the psychophysics of color vision).
