The lightest in the yellowish range
Yellow is the other colour I would have chosen to
exemplify. :)
If I understand it correctly, the zone theory of colour
says that the input for brightness calculation consists
of the green and red cones' outputs and the sum of their
sensitivities seems to me to have its maximum in the
yellow portion of the visible spectrum.
The inherent lightness of colors makes for some interesting
perceptional occurences. Aemelius Müller, in his days professor at the
academy of Winterthur in Switzerland, described in 1943 a formula that
could predict the appreciation of a color-combination. In other words:
Müller was able to predict which combination of colors most people
would most probably like. His system was actually based on the
inherent lightness of color hues.
Very interesting!
The idea of a criterion for measuring the attraction of
colour combinations along the whole spectrum is new to me.
Yet another item for the list of factors affecting colour
evaluation.
Thank you very much.
