Adams Chromatic Valence Color Space
Adams chromatic valence color spaces are a class of color spaces suggested by Elliot Quincy Adams. Two important Adams chromatic valence spaces are CIELUV and Hunter Lab.
Chromatic value/valence spaces are notable for incorporating the opponent process model, and the empirically-determined 2½ factor in the red/green vs. blue/yellow chromaticity components (such as in CIELAB).

Famous quotes containing the words adams, color and/or space:
“It was the feeling of a passenger on an ocean steamer whose mind will not give him rest until he has been in the engine-room and talked with the engineer. She wanted to see with her own eyes the action of primary forces; to touch with her own eyes the action of primary forces; to touch with her own hand the massive machinery of society; to measure with her own mind the capacity of the motive power. She was bent upon getting to the heart of the great American mystery of democracy and government.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one’s soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood.”
—Josephine Baker (1906–1975)
“In the United States there is more space where nobody is is than where anybody is.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
