Abstract
In recent years, a great interest has focused on the use of bicomponent filaments in several high-performance textile articles such as swimwear, sportswear and even high-quality denim. To dye fabrics containing these filaments, it is necessary to establish appropriate dye recipes allowing to obtain desired shades. In this article, we developed a genetic algorithm to optimize the color matching step of these bicomponent filaments, especially (PET/PTT) filaments. Three disperse dyes with different molecular weights were used for dyeing. The objective is to reproduce the reference color by choosing the appropriate disperse dyes among the available dyestuffs and their corresponding quantities to use on the mixture. For modeling, two sets of parameters (lied to the color formulation problem and the genetic algorithm), the objective function as well as the different stages of the algorithm were defined and described. In addition, different techniques of selection and mutation were applied and evaluated. The optimization criterion is to reduce the CMC color difference between the desired reference colors and the colors proposed by the algorithm. The developed algorithm showed good performances with very small color differences. The results indicate that the roulette wheel selection technique outperforms both rank and uniform selection methods. Moreover, employing a simple mutation strategy yields favorable outcomes with CMC color differences all lower than 1.

Abstract
A new color appearance model named sCAM has been developed, including a uniform color space, sUCS. The model has a simple structure but provides comprehensive functions for color related applications. It takes input from either XYZ D65 or signals from an RGB space. Their accuracy has been extensively tested. sUCS performed the best or second-best to the overall 28 datasets for space uniformity and the 6 datasets for hue linearity comparing the state of the art UCSs. sCAM also performed the best to fit all available one- and two-dimensional color appearance datasets. It is recommended to have field tests for all color related applications.

Abstract
Denim clothes are the must-have items of clothing around the world. This kind of fabrics is evolving with the increasing consumer demand in order to keep its place as a versatile article. In this context, this paper contributes to the development and dyeing of a new blend fabric made of cotton fibers and bicomponent polyester filaments (PET/PTT). A comparative study between the mechanical and thermal properties of this fabric and conventional fabrics has confirmed the great interest to use bicomponent (PET/PTT) filaments in the manufacture of denim fabrics; these bicomponent filaments allow to give to wearer the desired elasticity and comfort. For dyeing (cotton/bicomponent polyester filaments) blend fabric, three different processes, using reactive and disperse dyes, were tested and analyzed. These dyeing processes are: two-baths/two-phases, one-bath/two-phases, and one-bath/one-phase processes. In addition, in order to obtain uniform shades between cotton fibers dyed with reactive dyes and bicomponent polyester filaments dyed with disperse dyes, an ant colony algorithm was elaborated to predict the optimal dye recipes. By observing obtained results, the developed algorithm is very effective; it allows to find the combination of reactive dyes necessary to achieve the same shade obtained by the disperse dyes with very small color differences between the two components and without having to make corrections mainly for the one-bath/two-phases process. Indeed, dyeing using the two processes (two baths/two phases and one bath/two phases) presents the best values of color yield (K/S) with almost similar results (ΔECMC(2:1) < < 1). For the one-bath/one-phase process, it presents less significant results; We can observe ΔECMC(2:1) greater than 1 in certain shades. This is due to the strongly pH value (basic pH of 11) of reactive dyeing.

Abstract
A new method was developed to evaluate the perceived gamut of a display. A multispectral image of a white gypsum sphere was projected onto various highly chromatic lights, producing a series of images with distinct hue perceptions at the gamut boundary of displays. These images were subsequently used in a psychophysical experiment to examine the perceived color gamut. Afterwards, the visual results were further compared with the prediction results from various uniform color spaces (UCSs) and color appearance models (CAMs). The present results demonstrate that CAM16-UCS provides the most accurate prediction across the entire color gamut, whereas the cyan-to-blue region is more poorly predicted than the other hue regions for all CAMs and UCSs investigated.

Abstract
To investigate chromatic adaptation and develop chromatic adaptation transforms (CATs), many psychophysical experiments have been conducted to collect corresponding colors (CC) under various illumination conditions. Most modern CATs have been developed based on a database of CC sets collected in the 20th century. More recently, several additional CC sets have been collected by Smet et al., Wei et al., and Ma et al. using memory color matching or achromatic matching methods. The analysis of these CC data indicates that for yellowish (located on or close to the Planckian locus) and greenish illuminations, the short-wave (S) sensitive cones show a lower degree of adaptation compared to the long-wave (L) and medium-wave (M) sensitive cones. This can result in a large prediction error of the standard von Kries CAT, which adopts a single degree of adaptation value for all three cone types. A modified von Kries CAT is proposed that accounts for these differences between the L-, M- and S-cone signals by applying a compression to the rescaling factor for the S-cones. It outperforms the standard von Kries CAT for the Breneman-C, Smet, Wei, and Ma data, while for other data sources the two CATs have similar performance.

Abstract
A new gamut boundary descriptor (GBD) is presented in this paper. Unlike the traditional methods to perform sampling in RGB space and to interpolate the data in a uniform color space (UCS), the proposed method is designed in a reverse manner, i.e., to sample the data in UCS. This unique characteristic makes it simple and yields a smooth and accurate boundary. The proposed method can be divided into three simple steps. Firstly, coarse sampling is performed to make a rough estimate of the boundary. In step two, dense sampling is conducted to refine the boundary. Finally, the cusp is identified to achieve the accurate boundary. An experiment was carried out to compare the performance of the proposed method with the two commonly used SMGBD and Mountain Range methods. The results showed that the proposed method can give the most accurate and smooth boundary. It can be considered for practical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This in-vivo clinical study provides subjective and objective documentation on colour stability of enamel after resin infiltration at a mean observation time of six years after treatment. METHODS 76 teeth previously treated with ICON® due to hypomineralized lesions of enamel were recalled for a follow-up at ………(………..). Colour stability was assessed: i) subjectively by patients using FDI-colour matching criteria; ii) objectively by calculating CIEDE2000 colour differences between the affected/treated and sound enamel in each tooth at T0 (baseline), T1 (one year) and T2 (six years) based on spectrophotometric data. Analysis of correlation between FDI and CIEDE2000 data was performed. RESULTS Two teeth were lost to follow-up prior to 72 months. No unwanted effects were reported by patients. Number of FDI scores 1 and 2 were 13.5%, 90.6% and 93.2% at T0, T1 and T2, respectively. ΔE00 was evaluated at 6.8 (SD3.8) at T0. ΔE00 was 5.8 (SD3.1) between T0 and T1 and 1.3 (SD0.6) between T1 and T2. ΔE00 reduction (T1-T0) was significantly but only fairly correlated with FDI scores at any follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that caries infiltration satisfactorily masks aesthetically relevant lesions after longer follow-up. Subjective and objective outcomes showed a fair correlation mainly for the initial masking effect. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This prospective clinical trial demonstrates the excellent subjective and objective colorimetric stability of enamel treated with ICON® 6 years after treatment.

Abstract
This paper aims at assessing the use of nanomaterials in painting conservation and in cleaning practices that could be alternative to the traditional ones to overcome the limits of new green materials. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles have been spread and studied on historical painting surfaces with good results. In particular, the properties of TiO2 nanoparticles have been considered useful for self-cleaning and protective purposes against the accumulation of dirt and dust that represents the first phase in deterioration of historical painting surfaces. TiO2 nanoparticles, prepared in distilled water by Pulsed Laser Ablation in Liquids, were applied on painting mock-ups realized in the laboratory according to old recipes and using historical binders and pigments. The surface characteristics of the painting were investigated by contact angle measurement and by Atomic Force Microscopy. The optical and aesthetical compatibility of the colloidal dispersions with the painting was assessed by spectrophotometry, and then the cleaning efficiency was evaluated by discoloration of a dye under ultraviolet irradiation, at fixed time intervals, using colorimetric technique. Because of the high reactivity of nanoparticles, the possibility of degrading the painting surface, together with the chromatic marker, was examined by colorimetric measurements. The evaluation of the color changes is important for all the materials belonging to cultural heritage, especially painting, for which the color modification induced by protective and/or cleaning interventions could irremediably compromise the work of art.

Abstract
Capsicums lose water very rapidly after harvest and the moisture loss causes severe shriveling making them unmarketable within 2-3 days. The moisture loss occurs even under low temperature conditions, though at lesser rates. Bell peppers packed in corrugated fiber board boxes (CFB) tend to lose moisture continuously as these boxes are permeable to both water vapour and respiratory gases even if they are non-ventilated. To reduce the moisture loss and maintain freshness, yellow colour capsicum (cv. Bachata) were packed in CFB boxes and over wrapped with different semi-permeable films using shrink wrapping technology. This box shrink wrapping significantly lowered the weight loss and maintained firmness of capsicum at ambient (25.7-33.2 °C and 25-63% RH) and low temperature (8 °C ± 0.5 and 80 ± 5% RH) conditions. Yellow colour capsicums packed in this way could be stored for 11 days at ambient temperature with a weight loss of < 6% as compared to about 20% weight loss in non-wrapped fruits. The storage life could be extended to 5 weeks by storing these shrink wrapped boxes at 8 °C without any shriveling and with a weight loss of < 5%. In addition to maintaining high humidity, the lower O2 and higher CO2 levels maintained surrounding the produce in the wrapped boxes helped to avoid shriveling and to retain the quality in terms of surface colour, firmness and other quality traits. The absorption of excessive relative humidity by CFB itself in the over wrapped boxes helped in avoiding condensation of water droplets. This in turn avoided the development of fungal growth and thus the risk of fruit decay.

Abstract
A psychophysical experiment using 3D printed samples was conducted to investigate the change of perceived color differences caused by two different illuminations and two 3D sample shapes. 150 pairs of 3D printed samples around five CIE color centers [Color Res. Appl. 20, 399-403, 1995], consisting of 75 pairs of spherical samples and 75 pairs of flat samples, with a wide range of color differences covering from small to large magnitude, were printed by an Mcor Iris paper-based 3D color printer. Each pair was assessed twice by a panel of 10 observers using a gray-scale psychophysical method in a spectral tunable LED viewing cabinet with two types of light sources: diffuse lighting with and without an additional overhead spotlight. The experimental results confirmed that the lighting conditions had more effect on the perceived color difference between complex 3D shapes than between 2D objects. The results for 3D and 2D objects were more similar under only diffuse lighting. Current 3D results had good correlations with previous ones [Color Res. Appl. 24, 356-368, 1999; J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 36, 789-799, 2019] using 2D samples with large color differences, meaning that color-difference magnitude had more effect on perceived color differences than sample shape and lighting. Considering ten modern color-difference formulas, the best predictions of the current experimental data were found for CAM02-LCD formula [Color Res. Appl. 31, 320-330, 2006]. For current results, it was also found that predictions of current color-difference formulas were below average inter-observer variability, and remarkable improvements were found by adding power corrections [Opt. Express 23, 597-610, 2015].

Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to predict the whole chromatic path traveled by the colors of glossy anodized titanium samples in every specular geometry. It is based on measurements of the samples' reflectance spectra in a limited number of specular geometries, which allow us to obtain the oxide layer structural parameters (thickness, refractive index), which are then put into an optical model to predict the samples' reflectance spectra in every specular geometry. A good color prediction performance is obtained, with an average ΔE94 color distance over all samples and geometries of 1.9. The oxide layer structural parameters are also in good agreement with refractive index values extracted from the literature and thicknesses measured on electron microscopy images of sample sections.

Abstract
The surface pH is a critical factor in the quality and longevity of materials and products. Traditional fast colorimetric pH detection-based tests such as water quality control or pregnancy tests, when results are determined by the naked eye, cannot provide quantitative values. Using standard pH papers, paper-printed comparison charts, or colorimetric microfluidic paper-based analytical devices is not suitable for such technological applications and quality management systems (QMSs) where the particular tested material should contain a suitable indicator in situ, in its structure, either before or after the process, the technology or the apparatus that are being tested. This paper describes a method based on the combination of impregnation of a tested material with a pH indicator in situ, its exposure to a process of technology whose impact on pH value is to be tested, colorimetric pH measurement, and approximation of pH value using derived pH characteristic parameters (pH-CPs) based on CIE orthogonal and cylindrical color variables. The hypotheses were experimentally verified using the methyl red pH indicator, impregnating the acid lignin-containing paper, and preparing a calibration sample set with pH in the range 4 to 12 using controlled alkalization. Based on the performed measurements and statistical evaluation, it can be concluded that the best pH-CPs with the highest regression parameters for pH are √∆E, ln (a),√∆H (ab), a/L, h/b and ln (b/a). The experimental results show that the presented method allows a good estimation of pH detection of the material surfaces.

Abstract
With the emerging demand for wide-color-gamut displays, an issue has been raised in which the commonly used color difference formulae or uniform color spaces that were derived based on the data produced in the relatively smaller color gamut could be unreliable for predicting color differences in the highly saturated color regions. A psychophysical experiment was carried out for evaluating color difference at a luminance level of 310cd/m2 on a wide-color-gamut display with an approximate DCI-P3 color gamut. Twelve color centers were selected to cover the entire gamut boundary. There were 192 pairs of samples over 12 color centers judged by 18 observers using the greyscale psychophysical method. The data set was used to test the performance of six uniform color spaces and color difference equations, CIELAB, CIEDE2000, CAM02-UCS, Jzazbz, ICTCP, and nICTCP, a newly revised ICTCP formula. The color discrimination ellipses were used to test local and global uniformity of color spaces and compared with previous studies. The results revealed that all formulae improved their performance to have a mean lightness parametric factor of about 0.5. CAM02-UCS significantly outperformed the others in overall, local, and global uniformity. The high-quality visual data set is recommended to evaluate or to derive color difference formulae for WCG applications in the future.

Abstract
Arsenic field test kits are widely used to measure arsenic levels in drinking water sources, especially in countries like Bangladesh, where water supply is highly decentralized and water quality testing infrastructure is limited. From a public health perspective, the ability of a measurement technique to distinguish samples above and below relevant and actionable drinking water standards is paramount. In this study, the performance of eight commercially available field test kits was assessed by comparing kit estimates to hydride generation atomic absorption spectroscopy (HG-AAS) analyses. The results of tests that control for user-dependent color matching errors showed that two kits (LaMotte and Quick II kits) provided accurate and precise estimates of arsenic, four kits (Econo-Quick, Quick, Wagtech and Merck kits) were either accurate or precise, but not both, and two kits (Hach and Econo-Quick II kits) were neither accurate nor precise. Tests were performed for arsenic concentration ranges commonly found in natural waters and treated waters (such as community drinking water filter systems), and also on laboratory generated arsenic standards in DI water. For those kits that did not perform well, test strips often produced colors too light compared to manufacturer-provided arsenic color calibration charts. Based on these results, we recommend stakeholders carefully re-consider the use of poorly performing field test kits until better quality control of components of these kits is implemented. In addition, we recommend that field test kit manufacturers provide suitable internal standards in every kit box for users to verify the veracity of manufacturer provided color charts.

Abstract
All color-difference formulas are developed to evaluate color differences for pairs of stimuli with hairline separation. In printing applications, however, color differences are frequently judged between a pair of samples with no separation (NS) because they are printed adjacently on the same piece of paper. A new formula, ΔENS, has been developed for pairs of stimuli with NS. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different color-difference magnitudes using sample pairs with NS. 1012 printed pairs with NS were prepared around 11 CIE recommended color centers. The pairs, representing four color-difference magnitudes of 1, 2, 4, and 8 CIELAB units were visually evaluated by a panel of 19 observers using the gray-scale method. Comparison of the present data based on pairs with NS, and previously generated data using pairs with hairline separation, showed a clear separation effect. A new color-difference equation for the NS viewing condition (ΔENS) is proposed by modifying the CIEDE2000 formula. The separation effect can be well described by the new formula. For a sample pair with NS, when the CIEDE2000 color difference is less than 9.1, a larger color difference leads to a larger lightness difference, but has no effect on the chromatic difference. When the CIEDE2000 color difference is greater than 9.1, the effect is the opposite. The new formula is recommended for future research to evaluate its performance in appropriate applications.

Abstract
Background:
The final goal of color measurement or shade specification in dentistry is
the reproduction by prosthetic materials of all important appearance characteristics of natural oral
structures. The application of color science in dentistry is an objective way to measure and evaluate
such structures and dental materials in clinical practice and dental research.
Methods:
Literature on color science was reviewed to present new metrics to evaluate color differences
of dental materials and dental structures. Visual acceptability and perceptibility values of color
differences are reviewed and new whiteness indexes to describe whiteness in dentistry are presented.
Results:
In the last decade, the CIELAB 50:50% perceptibility and acceptability thresholds were set
to 1.2 and 2.7, respectively, and the CIEDE2000 50:50% perceptibility and acceptability thresholds
were set to 0.8 and 1.8. The CIEDE2000 color-difference formula became increasingly popular in
dentistry. Developments in color science have led to the description of tooth whiteness and changes
in tooth whiteness based on whiteness indexes, with the most relevant being the WID whiteness index,
which is a customized index based in CIELAB color space.
Conclusion:
The application of color science in dentistry has allowed the precise description of
tooth color and whiteness. The revised and new CIEDE2000 color-difference formula is expected to
fully replace the outdated CIELAB formula in almost all dental applications. Recent psychophysical
studies have reported values of visual thresholds and new whiteness indexes, which can serve as
quality control tools to guide the selection of esthetic dental materials, evaluate clinical performance,
and interpret visual and instrumental findings in clinical dentistry, dental research, and subsequent
standardization.

Abstract
During the past few years, several instruments for color measurement have become commercially available at unprecedented low prices. Although these instruments are no spectrophotometers, their price-performance ratio may be attractive for applications that do not require the high accuracy of traditional instruments. We investigated the performance of this class of instruments. These instruments typically do not provide spectral reflectance data, and some do not even produce colorimetric data such as CIELab coordinates. Therefore, in this investigation we express performance of the devices as the percentage of correctly identified color chips in color documentations (fan decks) such as those from RAL and Dulux CP5. Based on statistical physics, we develop a mathematical model that predicts the performance of a low-cost color instrument. This performance is shown to depend mainly on (i) the measurement precision of the instrument, and on (ii) the density of chip color coordinates in the color documentation. The new model makes it possible to compare test results from different instruments, even if they were obtained with different color documentations. The model also can be used to help design an efficient quality control test for the instruments, and to design new color documentations for which the instrument gives superior performance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES An evaluation method is proposed to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the clinical outcome of the enamel hypomineralization treatment with infiltrative resin in young adolescents. The aesthetic outcome is assessed before and after treatment by visual evaluation using FDI-colour match criteria and by spectrophotometric analysis using the CIEDE2000 colour difference formula. The visual (subjective) results are compared with the spectrophotometric (objective) approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS 76 teeth of patients of Sapienza University (Rome, Italy) presenting early caries lesions and/or developmental defect of enamel on the labial surface of clinical crown were subjected to resin infiltration. Three observers evaluated the aesthetic appearance of the teeth before and after treatment using FDI-colour match criteria. The spectrophotometric colour difference between the affected and sound enamel in each tooth was calculated before and after resin infiltration. A correlation between FDI criteria and the calculated CIEDE2000 colour difference (ΔE00) was performed. RESULTS Mean FDI scores and ΔE00, evaluated before and after treatment, were large in all sample. A clear correlation was detected between visual inspections and spectrophotometric colour difference of clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of the present study results, the aesthetic outcome of resin infiltration proved to be highly effective, both with visual qualitative and spectrophotometric quantitative assessment. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Hypomineralized enamel colour abnormalities affect patients' quality of life, therefore tissue preservative cosmetic treatments are requested. An evaluation method of resin infiltration clinical outcome by visual evaluation and spectrophotometry is proposed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review current knowledge concerning the application of colour science on tooth colour and whiteness description, measurement, distribution and its psychological impact. DATA SOURCES "Scopus" databases were searched electronically with the principal keywords tooth, teeth, colour, white, whiteness. Language was restricted to English and original studies and reviews were included. Conference papers and abstracts were excluded. CONCLUSIONS The appearance and colour of teeth are a common concern for patients across many populations and are associated with an increased desire for treatments that improve dental aesthetics, including tooth whitening. The application of colour science in dentistry has allowed the precise description of tooth colour and whiteness. Coupled with the advances in instrumental tooth colour measurement, such as spectrophotometers, colorimeters, spectroradiometers and digital imaging systems, these parameters are quantifiable in a reproducible and robust manner. These principles have been applied to the tooth colour distribution in many study populations, indicating, in general, differences in tooth colour for subject age and gender, but not for ethnicity. Psychophysical studies on tooth colour and whiteness via third party assessment of images indicate that whitened teeth lead to judgements that are more positive on personality traits such as social competence and appeal, intellectual ability and relationship satisfaction.

Abstract
For developing color difference formulas, there are several choices to be made on the psychophysical method used for gathering visual (observer) data. We tested three different psychophysical methods: gray scales, constant stimuli, and two-alternative forced choice (2AFC). Our results show that when using gray scales or constant stimuli, assessments of color differences are biased toward lightness differences. This bias is particularly strong in LCD monitor experiments, and also present when using physical paint samples. No such bias is found when using 2AFC. In that case, however, observer responses are affected by other factors that are not accounted for by current color difference formulas. For accurate prediction of relative color differences, our results show, in agreement with other works, that modern color difference formulas do not perform well. We also investigated if the use of digital images as presented on LCD displays is a good alternative to using physical samples. Our results indicate that there are systematic differences between these two media.

Abstract
Color-difference formulas modified by power functions provide results in better agreement with visually perceived color differences. Each of the modified color-difference formulas proposed here adds only one relevant parameter to the corresponding original color-difference formula. Results from 16 visual data sets and 11 color-difference formulas indicate that the modified formulas achieve an average decrease of 5.7 STRESS (Standardized Residual Sum of Squares) units with respect to the original formulas, signifying an improvement of 17.3%. In particular, for these 16 visual data sets, the average decrease for the current CIE/ISO recommended color-difference formula CIEDE2000 modified by an exponent 0.70 was 5.4 STRESS units (17.5%). The improvements of all modified color-difference formulas with respect to the original ones held for each of the 16 visual data sets and were statistically significant in most cases, particularly for all data sets with color differences close to the threshold. Results for 2 additional data sets with color pairs in the blue and black regions of the color space confirmed the usefulness of the proposed power functions. The main reason of the improvements found for the modified color-difference formulas with respect to the original color-difference formulas seems to be the compression provided by power functions.

Abstract
The main objective of this work was to test the performance of major formulas for assessment of small suprathreshold color differences in the blue region. The models examined include CIELAB color space based equations, including CIELAB, CIE94, CIEDE2000, CMC (l:c), BFD (l:c), and formulas based on more uniform color spaces, such as DIN99d, CAM02-SCD, CAM02-UCS, OSA-GP, and OSA-Eu in comparison against data obtained via visual assessments. For this purpose, a dataset around the CIE high-chroma blue color center, hereafter called NCSU-B2, was developed. The NCSU-B2 dataset comprised 65 textile substrates and a standard, with a mean ΔE(ab)* color difference of 2.72, ranging from 0.54-5.72. Samples were visually assessed by 26 subjects against the reference gray scale in three separate trials with at least 24 h between assessments. A total of 5070 assessments were obtained. The standardized residual sum of squares (STRESS) index was used to examine the performance of various formulas for this dataset, as well as a previously developed NCSU-B1 low-chroma blue dataset [Color Res. Appl. 36, 27, 2011], and blue centers from other established visual datasets. Results show that formulas based on more recent uniform color spaces provide better agreement with perceptual data compared with models based on CIELAB space.

Abstract
It is well established from both colour difference and colour order perpectives that the colour space cannot be Euclidean. In spite of this, most colour spaces still in use today are Euclidean, and the best Euclidean colour metrics are performing comparably to state-of-the-art non-Euclidean metrics. In this paper, it is shown that a transformation from Euclidean to hyperbolic geometry (i.e., constant negative curvature) for the chromatic plane can significantly improve the performance of Euclidean colour metrics to the point where they are statistically significantly better than state-of-the-art non-Euclidean metrics on standard data sets. The resulting hyperbolic geometry nicely models both qualitatively and quantitatively the hue super-importance phenomenon observed in colour order systems.

Abstract
From a set of gonioapparent automotive samples from different manufacturers we selected 28 low-chroma color pairs with relatively small color differences predominantly in lightness. These color pairs were visually assessed with a gray scale at six different viewing angles by a panel of 10 observers. Using the Standardized Residual Sum of Squares (STRESS) index, the results of our visual experiment were tested against predictions made by 12 modern color-difference formulas. From a weighted STRESS index accounting for the uncertainty in visual assessments, the best prediction of our whole experiment was achieved using AUDI2000, CAM02-SCD, CAM02-UCS and OSA-GP-Euclidean color-difference formulas, which were no statistically significant different among them. A two-step optimization of the original AUDI2000 color-difference formula resulted in a modified AUDI2000 formula which performed both, significantly better than the original formula and below the experimental inter-observer variability. Nevertheless the proposal of a new revised AUDI2000 color-difference formula requires additional experimental data.

Abstract
The CIELAB lightness and chroma values of pixels in five of the eight ISO SCID natural images were modified to produce sample images. Pairs of images were displayed on a calibrated monitor and assessed by a panel of 12 observers with normal color vision using a categorical judgment method. The experimental results showed that assuming the lightness parametric factor k(L)=1 to predict color differences in images, CIELAB performed better than CIEDE2000, CIE94, or CMC, which is a different result to the one found in color-difference literature for homogeneous color pairs. However, observers perceived CIELAB lightness and chroma differences in images in different ways. To fit current experimental data, a specific methodology is proposed to optimize k(L) in the color-difference formulas CIELAB, CIEDE2000, CIE94, and CMC. From the standardized residual sum of squares (STRESS) index, it was found that the optimized formulas, CIEDE2000(2.3:1), CIE94(3.0:1), and CMC(3.4:1), performed significantly better than their corresponding original forms with lightness parametric factor k(L)=1. Specifically, CIEDE2000(2.3:1) performed the best, with a satisfactory average STRESS value of 25.8, which is very similar to the 27.5 value that was found from the CIEDE2000(1:1) formula for the combined weighted dataset of homogeneous color samples employed at the development of this formula [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A25, 1828 (2008), Table 2]. However, fitting our experimental data, none of the four optimized formulas CIELAB(1.5:1), CIEDE2000(2.3:1), CIE94(3.0:1), and CMC(3.4:1) is significantly better than the others. Current results roughly agree with the recent CIE recommendation that color difference in images can be predicted by simply adopting a lightness parametric factor k(L)=2 in CIELAB or CIEDE2000 [CIE Publication 199:2011]. It was also found that the different contents of the five images have considerable influence on the performance of the tested color-difference formulas.

Abstract
The performances of uniform color spaces and color-difference formulae for predicting threshold color differences were investigated based on visual assessments of 893 pairs of printed color patches under a D65 source. The average ΔE(ab,10)* of the pairs was 1.1 units. A threshold psychophysical experiment was repeated three times by a panel of 16 observers with normal color vision. The experimental data were used to evaluate nine color-difference formulae and uniform color spaces using the standardized residual sum of squares (STRESS) measure. The results indicated that all formulae and spaces performed very similarly to each other, and outperformed CIELAB for threshold color differences. The chromaticity-discrimination ellipses were used to compare with previous results from small color differences [Color Res. Appl. (2011), doi:10.1002/col.20689], and they agreed with each other, except for the purple color center.

Abstract
In order to investigate the performance of color difference formulae under different viewing conditions 144 pairs of sample around 17 color centers were designed and printed, and then assessed visually under four different viewing condition. STRESS values between the visual color difference and calculated color difference by five CIELAB-based color difference formulae CIELAB, BFD, CMC, CIE94, CIEDE200 were calculated. The result shows that the formulae have the similar performance but CIE94 is the best in all viewing conditions and CIELAB and BFD are the worst. All the color difference formulae have the best performance under illuminant D65 with illuminance of 1000 lx and gray background

Abstract
The most widely used color-difference formulas are based on color-difference data obtained under D65 illumination or similar and for a 10° visual field; i.e., these formulas hold true for the CIE 1964 observer adapted to D65 illuminant. This work considers the psychometric color-vision model based on the Optical Society of America-Uniform Color Scales (OSA-UCS) system previously published by the first author [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 21, 677 (2004); Color Res. Appl. 30, 31 (2005)] with the additional hypothesis that complete illuminant adaptation with perfect color constancy exists in the visual evaluation of color differences. In this way a computational procedure is defined for color conversion between different illuminant adaptations, which is an alternative to the current chromatic adaptation transforms. This color conversion allows the passage between different observers, e.g., CIE 1964 and CIE 1931. An application of this color conversion is here made in the color-difference evaluation for any observer and in any illuminant adaptation: these transformations convert tristimulus values related to any observer and illuminant adaptation to those related to the observer and illuminant adaptation of the definition of the color-difference formulas, i.e., to the CIE 1964 observer adapted to the D65 illuminant, and then the known color-difference formulas can be applied. The adaptations to the illuminants A, C, F11, D50, Planckian and daylight at any color temperature and for CIE 1931 and CIE 1964 observers are considered as examples, and all the corresponding transformations are given for practical use.

Abstract
Although the color of cyanobacteria is a very informative characteristic, no standardized protocol has, so far, been established for defining the color in an objective way, and, therefore, direct comparison of experimental results obtained by different research groups is not possible. In the present study, we used colorimetric measurements and conventional statistical tools to determine the effects on the measurement of the color of cyanobacteria, of the concentration of the microorganisms and their moisture content, as well as of the size of the target area and the minimum number of measurements. It was concluded that the color measurement is affected by every factor studied, but that this can be controlled for by making at least 10 consecutive measurements/9.62 cm(2) at different randomly selected points on the surface of filters completely covered by films of cyanobacteria in which the moisture contents are higher than 50%.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation among color-difference values based on three formulas between shade tab pairs from two shade guides [Vita Lumin (VITA) and Chromascop (CHRO)]. MATERIALS AND METHODS The color of shade tabs was measured relative to the standard illuminant D(65) under the 8 degrees standard observer function, and distributions for CIE L*, a*, and b* values were compared. One hundred and twenty shade pairs from VITA and 190 shade pairs from CHRO were used to calculate color differences using CIELAB, DIN99, and CIEDE2000 formulas (DeltaE*(ab), DeltaE(99), and DeltaE(00), respectively). A paired t-test was used to determine the difference between each pair of the three color-difference values (alpha= 0.01). Regression analysis was used to determine the correlations between the color differences (alpha= 0.01). RESULTS For both shade guides, there were significant differences between DeltaE*(ab) and DeltaE(00), DeltaE*(ab) and DeltaE(99), and DeltaE(99) and DeltaE(00) (p < 0.01). DeltaE*(ab) and DeltaE(00), and DeltaE*(ab) and DeltaE(99) were strongly correlated (r(2)= 0.90 to 0.94, p < 0.05). Although a simplified a* rescaling function of the CIE a* axis has been added in the CIEDE2000 formula, the influence of the opposite signs in the a* value were found to be irrelevant to the DeltaE(00) value. CONCLUSION DeltaE*(ab),DeltaE(99), and DeltaE(00) can be used interchangeably for the evaluation of color difference of shade tabs.

Abstract
In order to investigate the performance of suprathreshold color-difference tolerances with different visual scales and different perceptual correlates, a psychophysical experiment was carried out by the method of constant stimuli using CRT colors. Five hue circles at three lightness (L*=30, 50, and 70) and chroma (C*ab=10, 20, and 30) levels were selected to ensure that the color-difference tolerances did not exceed the color gamut of the CRT display. Twelve color centers distributed evenly every 30 degrees along each hue circle were assessed by a panel of eight observers, and the corresponding color-difference tolerances were obtained. The hue circle with L*=50 and C*ab=20 was assessed with three different visual scales (DeltaV=3.06, 5.92, and 8.87 CIELAB units), which ranged from small to large visual scales, while the remaining hue circles were observed only with the small visual scale. The lightness tolerances had no significant correlation with the hue angles, while chroma and hue tolerances showed considerable hue angle dependences. The color-difference tolerances were linearly proportional to the visual scales but with different slopes. The lightness tolerances with different lightness levels but the same chroma showed the crispening effect to some extent, while the chroma and hue tolerances decreased with the increment of the lightness. For the color-difference tolerances with different chroma levels but the same lightness, there was no correlation between the lightness tolerances and the chroma levels, while the chroma and hue tolerances were nearly linearly proportional to the chroma levels.

Abstract
The standardized residual sum of squares (STRESS) index was used to reevaluate four experimental datasets employed during the development of CIEDE2000, the current CIE recommended color-difference formula. This index enables statistical inferences not achievable by other metrics used commonly for performance evaluation. It was found that CIEDE2000 was statistically superior at a 95% confidence level to either CIE94, the previous recommended equation by the CIE, or the simple Euclidean distance in CIELAB, DeltaE*ab. Recent formulas based on the CIECAM02 color-appearance space and chroma-compressed variants of CIELAB were also evaluated and found to have only slightly reduced performance compared with CIEDE2000. These formulas have the advantage of simplicity and easier interpretation when used for quantifying color accuracy. Finally, each experimental dataset was evaluated separately rather than weight averaged as used during the development of CIEDE2000. Significant differences were found between datasets, suggesting that combining datasets may obscure important differences and that the practice of parameter optimization during formula development using combined data is likely suboptimal.

Abstract
Using simulated data sets, we have analyzed some mathematical properties of different statistical measurements that have been employed in previous literature to test the performance of different color-difference formulas. Specifically, the properties of the combined index PF/3 (performance factor obtained as average of three terms), widely employed in current literature, have been considered. A new index named standardized residual sum of squares (STRESS), employed in multidimensional scaling techniques, is recommended. The main difference between PF/3 and STRESS is that the latter is simpler and allows inferences on the statistical significance of two color-difference formulas with respect to a given set of visual data.
