Termini in color theory
Color theory and measurement are wide fields, which cannot be described in detail within this help document. A lot of special termini are used in describing colors, color models and related topics. A few of commonly used termini and some principles are described in more detail in the following:
What is a colorimetric analysis?
How can I define custom illuminants?
What are chromaticity coordinates?
What is the dominant wavelength?
What is the complementary wavelength?
What is the excitation purity?
What is the whiteness-blue reflection or Z% brightness?
