Bob, Call me nuts, but I'm actually looking forward to the day I'll have a cataract removed for the very reason you mention, that experience of looking at the world, all of a sudden, *without* yellow filters. I read the same account as you described, in the color literature, that the sky takes on a stronger vivid shade of blue and so on. All I know about the Standard Observer is that it was made of two groups of men but I have no details on their age... I guess they had "normal color vision" 😊 / Roger -----Original Message----- From: colorsync-users <colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com> On Behalf Of Bob-BTY via colorsync-users Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2020 10:42 AM To: colorsync-users@lists.apple.com Subject: Human color vision Many people don't seem to know that the lenses in the human eye start going yellow with age.

Dear all, I was thinking if and what to say here. But after 15 years of heavy involvement in international standardisation organisations (ISO TC130, ICC, CIE) I would like to give me 2 cent here. a) the gamut definition in standards that follow democratic rules (after long and tedious discussions such as ISO, CIE, ICC) focusing directly or indirectly on output devices (https://ttbs.isolutions.iso.org/obp/ui/#search and search for gamut) b) if you want to use it for input devices go to such working groups and participate Studying at RIT I learned that there are two "schools": One is in favour of the idea to attribute an input device with a colour volume and the other isn't. Ergo: So if you cannot agree on a definition for input devices your arguments (or patience or endurance) are not good/convincing enough.

A second school who dares to disagree with Andrew’s “facts”? How could that be possible? Perhaps it’s a geographic thing? The majority of papers I’ve seen on calculating input device gamuts are from the UK or Mainland Europe. — Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd

What you’ve failed to understand is these are not “my” facts. I’ve provided facts from a large number of actual color scientists; from Munsell, RIT, etc. The question you should be asking yourself but can’t is; how can YOU disagree with the facts from so many experts in the field of color? I'm sorry that these facts continue to ruin your life.
Heresy! Henry Davis
