Perceptual variation and access to colors
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (1):22-22 (2003)
Abstract
To identify the set of reflectances that constitute redness, the authors must first determine which surfaces are red. They do this by relying on widespread agreement among us. However, arguments based on the possible ways in which humans would perceive colors show that mere widespread agreement among us is not a satisfactory way to determine which surfaces are red.Author's Profile
