Abstract

In this paper, the effects of absolute colour-identification on a CRT display are compared under different experimental conditions, i.e., ambient illuminant intensity, colour temperature and target luminance. The results indicate that performance of colour identification deteriorated as ambient illuminant intensity was increased. Colour identification under the 2800 K colour temperature was better than that under the 1800 K and 5800K. Performance at high luminance was superior to that at low luminance. Colours were chosen to make up the colour coding system on the CRT display under various ambient illuminant conditions. The number and range of the colours selected for the colour coding could be expanded by increasing the target luminance on the CRT display.
