Abstract

This chapter surveys the major research methods and techniques used in the study of color and its effects on human perception and performance. Although a great many research methods have been devised to obtain quantitative data on human vision, only a small subset of those methods are directly pertinent and useful in the study of color sensitivity and the effects of color.
