As a result, the quality of my work looks richer in color and less bland.<br /><br />Would you mind telling me how you arrived at the conclusion that #d8232c is red?<br /><br />And thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4188823222763071436.post-68157041070663713042012-12-10T21:56:07.893-08:002012-12-10T21:56:07.893-08:00Ciao Giordano .. any sound scientific thread '...Ciao Giordano .. any sound scientific thread 'on impact of colors on human mood & behavior' ? .. in particular, a huge sample from global FB population might have tangible, practical value .. probably 1+B people was exposed to 'blue screen death' phrase .. why blue - in particular - is preferred corporate color .. for some ..

As you will see in the presentation, the excitation is not just in the UV range, but mostly in the blue respectively green range. There are commercial fluorescent inks that do not need UV at all. With such inks you can achieve good colorimetric matches under the standard illuminants and even preserve decent illumination metamerism even with such light sources as LED lights.Giordano Berettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676490672431958222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4188823222763071436.post-87530976549215341852012-11-15T08:48:55.869-08:002012-11-15T08:48:55.869-08:00Interesting.

That means that images will have vastly different appearances under different illuminants. It also means that some portions of an image might have a higher brightness than other portions. i.e., I can imagine a yellow car that appears brighter than a white one. This is OK if the "real" car is fluorescent too. It will be interesting to see if the authors have a means to compensate for these effects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4188823222763071436.post-32297566137226746732012-10-14T17:03:39.092-07:002012-10-14T17:03:39.092-07:00Thank you very much for your valuable contribution...Thank you very much for your valuable contribution in setting straight the record.
