53-3: Observer Metamerism and Its Effect on Color Accuracy in Display Media Technology

No two observers perceive color the same. To one observer, the colors of two objects might match perfectly; yet to another, those same two objects might not match. Minimizing this, the effect of observer metamerism is an important yet difficult problem. Based on recent statistical data characterizing the population of observers' eye responses, a metric that quantifies observer metamerism and its effect on color accuracy is developed, and a framework for minimizing this effect is given to improve color accuracy in current and future display media technology.
