Abstract
Induced chromatic effects were determined for monochromatic, equal-luminance inducing stimuli from 460 to 680 nm by using a hue-cancellation procedure. The observed red–green- and yellow–blue-induced chromatic-response functions, which were different from the prediction based on the opponent-color hypothesis, could accurately explain the characteristics of the simultaneous color contrast effect. Good linear fits were obtained for the red–green function with a linear combination of R and G cones and for the yellow–blue function with a linear combination of R and B cones. These findings suggest that the opponent mechanisms for color contrast may be different from those for homogeneous color.
