Reanalysis of λmax variations in the Stiles–Burch 10° color-matching functions

Abstract

Individual differences in the color matches made by normal observers can be attributed in part to small interobserver variations in the spectral peaks (λmax) of the cone sensitivities. I compared two different analyses of these λmax variations that were both based on the Stiles–Burch 10° color-matching functions [Opt. Acta 6, 1 ( 1959)]: one that suggested that the λmax values for individual cone classes fall into discrete subgroups [J. Neitz and G. H. Jacobs, in Colour Vision Deficiencies IX, B. Drum and G. Verriest, eds. (Kluwer Academic, Dordrecht, The Netherlands, 1989)] and one that failed to find discrete clustering [ J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 5, 1722 ( 1988)]. I conclude that there is not strong evidence for discrete λmax variations in the Stiles–Burch matches.
