Consistent Colour Appearance

When a set of colour reproductions are judged to have a high degree of similarity, they are often said to have a 'Consistent (or Common) Colour Appearance'. The degree of similarity is generally judged by subjective assessment. Although this term and similar terms are widely used it has no clear definition and there is currently no standard means of assessing whether a set of colour reproductions has common colour appearance.

Following the completion of a Reportership R8-13 on Common Colour Appearance, a CIE Technical Committee TC8-16 has been established on Consistency of Colour Appearance within a Single Reproduction Medium, chaired by Craig Revie (GB) & Yasuki Yamauchi (JP). Information about Reportership R8-13 is available here and the final report is available here.

The terms of reference of this committee are:
To study and report on sets of reproductions of the same source image that have a consistent colour appearance and are most similar to a reference reproduction, including recommending assessment methods that measure the similarity of reproductions of an image with different colour gamuts, for printed images on substrates with approximately similar characteristics in a fixed viewing environment. Only the effect of colour reproduction on appearance will be considered by this TC and so the assessment will be performed using hard copy or soft copy proofing. To propose a metric which can measure consistency of colour appearance.

A set of test images have been proposed for use in research on this topic. A set of print gamuts are recommended for testing.
