What is Effects of Light Source, Illuminance, and Hue on Visual Contrast about?

This study examined the impact of the spectral composition of two artificial light sources, illuminance level, and hue on measures of visual contrast. Saturation‐based color combinations were created within the four hues of red, yellow, green, and purple‐blue. In a repeated measures experimental study, 47 volunteers rated the four hue combinations along several dimensions of visual contrast. The results suggested that saturation contrasts involving yellow hue were evaluated more negatively on visual contrast than any other hue, whereas contrasts in the green hue were evaluated more positively than any other hue. Furthermore, significant interaction effects between hue and light source on all measures of visual contrast were found. This finding supports the notion that depending on the hue range involved, spectral composition of the light source can have an impact on visual contrast. The findings are discussed in terms of future research and implications for design in interior environments.
