Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the color discrimination exists effects between different genders. This paper took different 40 hue colors in NCS atlas as the experimental samples and then based on color science and visual psychophysics methods, establishing color match in relation to APP extra-double-sided coated offset paper color printing atlas. We use mathematical statistics methods, to evaluate the visual difference results of color discrimination about different gender observers under two different light sources. The experiment shows that women in the recognition of color is better than men, on the individual colors, such as orange and red, blue and green, man may not identify very well. And the light source has a great influence on the observer to identify the color difference.
