chromaticity Dictionary Terms

isochromatic
Having the same chromaticity or color.
receiver primaries
Also known as display primaries. Colors formed by a television receiver that are of constant chromaticity and variable...
chromaticity
The qualities of color associated with hue and saturation, but not brightness or lightness.
excitation purity
On the CIE chromaticity diagram, the distance from the achromatic point to the sample point, divided by the distance from...
maximum luminous transmittance
The greatest luminous transmittance possible for a specified chromaticity.
Planckian locus
Locus of points on a chromaticity diagram that includes the chromaticities of blackbody radiators.
NTSC triangle
The triangle in a chromaticity diagram joining the chromaticities of the NTSC phosphors, and containing all chromaticities...
laser output
The laser output refers to the generated and emitted light produced by a laser system. This output is characterized by...
equiluminous colors
Colors differing only in chromaticity but not in luminance.
blackbody locus
With respect to a chromaticity diagram, this is the locus of points that represent the chromaticities of blackbodies...
chromaticity coordinates
Proportions of standard primaries (tristimulus values) required for a color match; ratios of each tristimulus value of a...
reference point
The point of a chromaticity diagram that represents the chromaticity of a reference stimulus.
spectrum locus
On a chromaticity diagram, the line on which fall the chromaticities of the pure spectrum colors.
laser
A laser, which stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation," is a device that produces coherent and...
maximum luminous efficiency
The greatest luminosity possible for a specified chromaticity.
chrominance
The difference between any color and a reference color having equal luminance and a specified chromaticity.
chromaticity diagram
The plane diagram produced by plotting one of the three chromaticity coordinates (X,Y,Z) against another. The most common...
achromatic point
Location on the CIE chromaticity diagram which produces the color white for a given light source at a specified temperature.
distribution temperature
Temperature of the blackbody having a spectral power distribution approximately proportional to the test source at all...
complementary wavelength
Also called complementary dominant wavelength. On a chromaticity diagram, the wavelength on the spectrum locus that lies on...
correlated color temperature
Temperature of the blackbody having chromaticity nearest to that of the test source on a specified chromaticity diagram.
sample point
On a chromaticity diagram, the point that denotes the chromaticity sample.
Liebmann effect
The visual perception of contrasting forms is more difficult if the forms have the same luminance but different...
maximum luminous reflectance
The greatest luminous reflectance possible for a specified chromaticity.
