Schrödinger’s color theory finally completed after 100 years

New research into how people perceive differences between colors is reshaping a theory first proposed nearly 100 years ago by physicist Erwin Schrödinger. Roxana Bujack, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, led a team that applied geometry to precisely describe how we experience hue, saturation and lightness. Their findings, presented at a major visualization science conference, solidify Schrödinger's framework by showing that these core color qualities arise from the int...
