Title:

    Theory of Human Tetrachromatic Color Experience and Printing

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    We apply d-dimensional color theory to compute the predicted hue sphere of human tetrachromatic color space for the first time and derive the ideal, CMY-equivalent, tetrachromatic printing primaries. Our prototype tetrachromatic printer utilizes four selected fountain pen inks to print color tests to identify and characterize tetrachromacy in the wild.
