Color Difference
Adams' color spaces rely on the Munsell value for lightness. Defining chromatic valence components and, we can determine the difference between two colors as:
where VJ is the Newhall-Nickerson-Judd value function and the 0.4 factor is incorporated to better make differences in WX and WZ perceptually correspond to one another.
In chromatic value color spaces, the chromaticity components are and . The difference is:
where the Munsell-Sloan-Godlove value function is applied to the tristimulus value indicated in the subscript. (Note that the two spaces use different lightness approximations.)

Famous quotes containing the words color and/or difference:
“Gradually I regained my usual composure. I reread Pale Fire more carefully. I liked it better when expecting less. And what was that? What was that dim distant music, those vestiges of color in the air? Here and there I discovered in it and especially, especially in the invaluable variants, echoes and spangles of my mind, a long ripplewake of my glory.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“A faith is something you die for, a doctrine is something you kill for. There is all the difference in the world.”
—Tony Benn (b. 1925)
