Color Research and Application is a color science journal publishing high quality peer-reviewed research on the science, technology, and application of color in multiple disciplines, including chemistry, biology, food science, physics, psychology, and the plastic, paint and textiles industry. Due to the highly interdisciplinary influence of color, our readership is similarly widespread and. The Master of Science and Ph.D.
color science degrees explore all aspects of color, from lighting, through material properties, to human perception, and are closely associated with the Munsell Color Science Laboratory, which is considered one of the world's top research facilities in the science of color. Color science is the scientific study of color including lighting and optics; measurement of light and color; the physiology, psychophysics, and modeling of color vision; and color reproduction. It is the modern extension of traditional color theory.
Color science is an inherently interdisciplinary area of research. It examines the perception of color by the human eye and brain, the origin of color in materials, color theory in art, and the physics of electromagnetic radiation in the visible range. Colour naming research is more of an interdisciplinary than a unidiscipli- nary area because it links colour science to psychology, linguistics, anthropology, computer science, biology and semiotics.
Published by Color Science Association of Japan. FREE ACCESS. Clearly color science entails so many disciplines of learning from physiology, and psychology to mathematics, chemistry and physics that an adequate understanding of the topic requires collaboration and a multidisciplinary team of researchers.
Lastly, interspecific differences in coloration, sometimes even observable in the fossil record, give insights into trait evolution. The biology of color is a field that typifies modern research: curiosity-led, technology-driven, multilevel, interdisciplinary, and integrative. Much of the research in color science, however, is devoted, directly or indirectly, to color perception, and to studying the complex physiological and neurological mechanisms underlying color vision.
Color Science by W. S. Stiles; Günther Wyszecki Deals with all phases of light, color, and color vision, providing comprehensive data, formulas, concepts, and procedures needed in basic and applied research in color vision, colorimetry, and photometry.
