High contrast sets of colours for colour CRTs under various conditions of illumination
Abstract
The Carter and Carter algorithm to compute high-contrast sets of colors is extended to cope with the presence of ambient illumination. Several application results are graphically represented in the CIE 1931 and the CIE 1976 color triangle. A simulation study, based on the new algorithm, further investigates the effects of illumination strength (I), type of ambient (A), phosphor type (P), and number of displayed colors (N) on the possibility of generating discriminable colors. The limitations of the present methodology with regard to the definition of ergonomically optimal colors are also discussed.
