Hi all,
I need readings to improve my knowledge about the way
we perceive colour.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.
Alfredo

Hi,
I think you should try this:
Vision and Art, The Biology of Seeing by Margaret
Livingstone
ISBN 0-8109-0406-3
It's a very good way to start.
Regards,
Fernando

Hope they help.

List member Ron Bean put together a nice list of such
books, along with some quotations from each one. You can find it posted at

Check out http://www.purveslab.net/ . This is the
perception lab at Duke University. Dr. Purvis has some really impressive
demonstrations there that will fool almost any color expert. He's
co-authored an in-depth book on human perception as well.

The classic book, aged but fundamental, is "The
Perception of Colors" by Ralph Evans, Wiley (1974).

Dear Mauro,
It appears that Ralph Merrill Evans' "The
Perception of Color" is no longer available either new or used from
Wiley, Amazon, or EBay.
The only place where I was able to find it here in the
West Coast is the Optometry Dept. Library at U.C. Berkeley.
On the other hand, I was able to find a paper written
recently on this very book by Rod L. Heckaman and Mark D. Fairchild (of
RIT's Munsell Color Science Laboratory), where they sum up the main ideas
in it. You can find the PDF file for this paper at the following URL:
http:
//www.cis.rit.edu/mcsl/research/PDFs/HeckamanFairchild1.pdf
Please let me know how well they sum up the book, in
your opinion.
Tanti cari saluti.

Thanks for point it out to me. I didn't know this
paper, but seems very interesting to me. An excellent appendix and
updating to the book. I will read it next days.
Grazie e ciao.
