Hi Peter,
The difference between the 2° and 10° observer is basically the size of
the area on your retina that is stimulated.
For the 2° observer mainly the cones in the center of the retina are
stimulated while for the 10° observer also the rods are stimulated.
That leads to a difference in color perception.
Here is a quite nice visualization:
https://santhalakshminarayana.github.io/images/color-science/standard-observer.jpg
The type of application when our perception is like a 2° observer or a
10° observer respectively is closely related to the viewing distance.
When you look at a printed product from a typical viewing distance of
50-60cm the field of view is close to 2°.
That's why for ICC profiles that are mainly used for print applications
the 2° observer is the standard.
When you look at other products like let's say a painted wall the filed
of view is close to 10°.
The wording on our website is a little misleading I must admit.
Most of our industrial products are used for applications where the
viewing distance leads to a field of view where the 10° observer
correlates better than the 2° observer.
BTW, when you want to check if in a certain situation "you are" the 2°
or the 10° observer there is a simple test.
Stretch out your arm, thumb upwards and look at your thumb with one eye.
The area that is covered corresponds to approximately 2°.
If the area can be covered with the entire fist, this is approximately 10°.
Best regards
Claas

Hi list members.
Hoping some color science folk out there on the list could help answer a
question I have.
From Konica Minoltas web page titled “Understanding standard observers in
color measurement�
“CIE standard observers help correlate instrumental color measurements to
human visual assessments. The 1964 10 Degree Supplementary Standard Observer is
considered to be more representative of how the human eye perceives color.�
So why do ICC profiles, for print production, still use 2degree observer
measurements instead of 10 degree observer measurements?
Given that the 10 degree observer “is considered to be more representative of
how the human eye perceives color. (me: Than 2 degree observer)�
Thanks
Peter
