  • Title: The effects of color on brightness.
    Author: Lotto RB, Purves D.
    Journal: Nat Neurosci; 1999 Nov; 2(11):1010-4. PubMed ID: 10526341.
    Abstract:
    Observation of human subjects shows that the spectral returns of equiluminant colored surrounds govern the apparent brightness of achromatic test targets. The influence of color on brightness provides further evidence that perceptions of luminance are generated according to the empirical frequency of the possible sources of visual stimuli, and suggests a novel way of understanding color contrast and constancy.
