The Challenge of our Unknown Unknowns
Robert W.G. Hunt
  DOI :  10.2352/CIC.2012.20.1.art00049  Published Online :  January 2012
Abstract

Some topics in color science, for which we hardly know where to look for answers, are discussed, including the following. Why does sharpening color-matching functions lead to better chromatic adaptation transforms? Why do the unique hues occur where they do in color space? Why do effective color-difference formulas have to be so complicated? Why do bluer whites look whiter than neutral whites of the same reflectance, and why is this also true of blacks?
