Abstract
The paper gives a short account of a new model for asymmetric colour matching. It generalizes affine models previously proposed in the literature, starting from Walraven’s (1976) “discounting the background” principle. The characteristic feature of the model proposed is that it allows different v.Kries-type multiplicative transformations for increments and decrements. Due to the qualitative laws implied, the model is particularly attractive from a measurement-theoretic ‘Grassmannian’ perspective. Some empirical and theoretical aspects of the model are briefly discussed.
