Abstract

An earlier analysis, which yielded an optimal pair of blue and green primaries (436 & 490 nm) for tritanomaloscopy, is reevaluated. That analysis minimized population variance in the mid-match points of color normals by taking into account, for a set of blue and green tritanopic metamers, the contributions of the lens and macular pigment variances and of matching range. The revision to the matching-range contribution takes into account the effect, neglected in the original analysis, of the varying angle between the blue–green primary mixture lines and the corresponding cyan test and yellow desaturant mixture lines. Use is made of new measurements of the macular pigment absorbance spectrum, a new estimate of the lens absorbance spectrum, the population variances of the lens and macular pigment, and of matching-range data for a current Moreland equation. Tritanopic metamers are derived from a revised set of cone fundamentals. The net effect of all of these revisions on the specification of optimal primaries is small (440 and 488 nm). However, larger changes are involved in the choice of test and desaturant wavelengths.
