Colour Vision:Trichromacy • H. von Helmholtz (19th century) • Thomas Young (19th century) • Representation (Artists & Painters) • Red (long), Green (medium), Blue (short)
Three Primary Colours Colour Vision:Trichromacy and Colour Mixture Hue Saturation Brightness
Chromatic Adaptation Negative Colour Afterimages : Induction

Figure-Ground Segregation Perceptual Grouping M ii ii iii ii iii ii M Closure Proximity – – – + + + Good Figure ? – – – Similarity
Colour Vision:Opponent Processing • E. Hering (19th century) • The problem of “yellow” • The problem of “negative afterimages” and complementary colours
Colour Vision:Three Opponent-Colour Channels Chromatic Achromatic _ 1 _ 3 + _ 2
