Colorimetry - Part 1: CIE standard colorimetric observers (ISO/CIE 11664-1:2019)

This document specifies colour-matching functions for use in colorimetry. Two sets of colour-matching
functions are specified.
a) Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of
observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense from about 1° to
about 4°, for vision at photopic levels of adaptation.
b) Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1964 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of
observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense greater than about
4°, for vision at sufficiently high photopic levels and with spectral power distributions such that no
participation of the rod receptors of the retina is to be expected.

Farbmetrik - Teil 1: CIE farbmetrische Normalbeobachter (ISO/CIE 11664-1:2019)

Dieses Dokument legt Spektralwertfunktionen zur Anwendung in der Farbmetrik fest. Es werden zwei Sätze von Spektralwertfunktionen festgelegt.
a) Spektralwertfunktionen für den CIE 1931 farbmetrischen Normalbeobachter.
Dieser Satz von Spektralwertfunktionen ist repräsentativ für die vergleichende Farbbewertung von Beobachtern mit normalem Farbsehvermögen für Gesichtsfeldgrößen von etwa 1° bis etwa 4°, bei Adaption des Auges an photopisches Sehen (Tagessehen).
b) Spektralwertfunktionen für den CIE 1964 farbmetrischen Normalbeobachter.
Dieser Satz von Spektralwertfunktionen ist repräsentativ für die vergleichende Farbbewertung von Beobachtern mit normalem Farbsehvermögen für Gesichtsfeldgrößen über etwa 4°, bei Adaption des Auges an photopisches Sehen (Tagessehen) mit ausreichend hohem Strahlungsniveau und mit einer solchen spektralen Strahlungsverteilung, das keine Beteiligung von Stäbchenrezeptoren der Netzhaut zu erwarten ist.

Introduction
Colours with different spectral compositions can look alike. An important function of colorimetry is to
determine whether a pair of such metameric colour stimuli will look alike. The use of visual colorimeters
for this purpose is handicapped by variations in the colour matches made among observers classified as
having normal colour vision. Visual colorimetry also tends to be time-consuming. For these reasons, it
has long been the practice in colorimetry to make use of sets of colour-matching functions to calculate
tristimulus values for colours: equality of tristimulus values for a pair of colours indicates that the colour
appearances of the two colours match, when they are viewed in the same conditions by an observer
for whom the colour-matching functions apply. The use of standard sets of colour-matching functions
makes the comparison of tristimulus values obtained at different times and locations possible.

Part 1:
CIE standard colorimetric observers
1 Scope
This document specifies colour-matching functions for use in colorimetry. Two sets of colour-matching
functions are specified.
a) Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of
observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense from about 1° to
about 4°, for vision at photopic levels of adaptation.
b) Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1964 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of
observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense greater than about
4°, for vision at sufficiently high photopic levels and with spectral power distributions such that no
participation of the rod receptors of the retina is to be expected.

5 Derivation of the colour-matching functions for the CIE 1931 standard
colorimetric observer
5.1 Experimental basis
The CIE 1931 colour-matching functions, xyλλ,,z λ , were derived from experimental work
() () ()
[1][2] [3]
carried out by Wright and Guild in which a total of 17 observers matched the monochromatic
stimuli of the spectrum, over the range of about 400 nm to 700 nm, with additive mixtures of red, green
and blue lights, using observing fields of 2° angular subtense.

5.2 Transformation procedures
The experimental results were converted into those that would have been obtained if the matching had
been carried out using, as reference colour stimuli, monochromatic radiations of wavelengths 700 nm
for the red [R], 546,1 nm for the green [G] and 435,8 nm for the blue [B], measured in units such that
equal quantities of [R], [G] and [B] were required to match the equi-energy spectrum.
The results for the 17 observers were averaged and then slightly adjusted so that by adding together
suitable proportions of the [R], [G], [B] colour-matching functions rgλλ,,b λ it was possible to
() () ()
obtain a function identical to that of the CIE spectral luminous efficiency, V(λ); the proportions used
were in the ratios of 1,000 0 to 4,590 7 to 0,060 1, and these were then the relative luminances of unit
quantities of [R], [G] and [B]. The CIE 1931 colour-matching functions were then determined by
Formulae (7) to (9):
 
xrλλ= 0,490+ ,,31gbλλ+ 020 n (7)

V λ
()
n= (10)
0,176 97rgλλ+ 0,,812 40 + 0 01063b λ

n is a constant, not a function of wavelength, because the coefficients 0,176 97, 0,812 40, and
0,010 63 are in the same ratios to one another as the ratio of 1,000 0 to 4,590 7 to 0,060 1; n is
equal to Formula (11).
1,000 0 ++ 4,590 7 0,060 1

0,176 97 ++ 0,812 40 0,010 63
The values of xyλλ,,z λ given in Table 1 from 360 nm to 400 nm and from 700 nm to 830 nm
() () ()
are extrapolations.
5.3 Transformation properties
The transformation given in Formulae (7) to (9) was chosen to achieve the following objectives:
1) The y λ function is identical to the V(λ) function.
()
2) The values of xyλλ,,z λ are all positive for all wavelengths of the spectrum (unlike
() () ()
rgλλ,,b λ , one of which is negative at most wavelengths because of the need to desaturate
() () ()
spectral stimuli when matching them with red, green and blue reference stimuli).
3) The values of z λ are zero for wavelengths longer than 650 nm.

4) The values of x λ are nearly zero at wavelengths around 505 nm.
()
5) The values of x λ and y λ are small at the short-wavelength end of the spectrum.

6) The equi-energy spectrum is specified by equal amounts of X, Y and Z.
Because the y λ function is identical to the V(λ) function, the Y tristimulus value is proportional to

Introduction
Colours with different spectral compositions can look alike. An important function of colorimetry is to
determine whether a pair of such metameric colours will look alike. The use of visual colorimeters for
this purpose is handicapped by variations in the colour matches made among observers classified as
having normal colour vision. Visual colorimetry also tends to be time-consuming. For these reasons, it
has long been the practice in colorimetry to make use of sets of colour-matching functions to calculate
tristimulus values for colours: equality of tristimulus values for a pair of colours indicates that the colour
appearances of the two colours match, when they are viewed in the same conditions by an observer
for whom the colour-matching functions apply. The use of standard sets of colour-matching functions
makes the comparison of tristimulus values obtained at different times and locations possible.

Part 1:
CIE standard colorimetric observers
1 Scope
This document specifies colour-matching functions for use in colorimetry. Two sets of colour-matching
functions are specified.
a) Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of
observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense from about 1° to
about 4°, for vision at photopic levels of adaptation.
b) Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1964 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of
observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense greater than about
4°, for vision at sufficiently high photopic levels and with spectral power distributions such that no
participation of the rod receptors of the retina is to be expected.

5 Derivation of the colour-matching functions for the CIE 1931 standard
colorimetric observer
5.1 Experimental basis
The CIE 1931 colour-matching functions, xyλλ,,z λ , were derived from experimental work
() () ()
[1] [2]
carried out by Wright and Guild in which a total of 17 observers matched the monochromatic
stimuli of the spectrum, over the range of about 400 nm to 700 nm, with additive mixtures of red, green
and blue lights, using observing fields of 2° angular subtense.
5.2 Transformation procedures
The experimental results were converted into those that would have been obtained if the matching had
been carried out using, as reference colour stimuli, monochromatic radiations of wavelengths 700 nm
for the red [R], 546,1 nm for the green [G] and 435,8 nm for the blue [B], measured in units such that
equal quantities of [R], [G] and [B] were required to match the equi-energy spectrum.
The results for the 17 observers were averaged and then slightly adjusted so that by adding together
suitable proportions of the [R], [G], [B] colour-matching functions rgλλ,,b λ it was possible to
() () ()
obtain a function identical to that of the CIE spectral luminous efficiency, V(λ); the proportions used
were in the ratios of 1,000 0 to 4,590 7 to 0,060 1, and these were then the relative luminances of unit
quantities of [R], [G] and [B]. The CIE 1931 colour-matching functions were then determined by

extrapolations.
5.3 Transformation properties
The transformation given in Formulae (7) to (9) was chosen to achieve the following objectives:
1. The y λ function is identical to the V(λ) function.
()
2. The values of xyλλ,,z λ are all positive for all wavelengths of the spectrum (unlike
() () ()
rgλλ,,b λ , one of which is negative at most wavelengths because of the need to desaturate
() () ()
spectral stimuli when matching them with red, green and blue reference stimuli).
3. The values of z λ are zero for wavelengths longer than 650 nm.
()
4. The values of x λ are nearly zero at wavelengths around 505 nm.
()
5. The values of x λ and y λ are small at the short-wavelength end of the spectrum.
() ()
6. The equi-energy spectrum is specified by equal amounts of X, Y and Z.
Because the y λ function is identical to the V(λ) function, the Y tristimulus value is proportional to
()
luminance.
5.4 Comparison with earlier data

intervals, when rounded to four decimal places, agree closely with those originally published in 1931.
There are only three minor differences: at λ = 775 nm the new value of x λ is 0,000 1 instead of 0,000 0;
()
at λ = 555 nm, y λ = 1,000 0 instead of 1,000 2 and at λ = 740 nm, y λ = 0,000 2 instead of 0,000 3.

These changes are considered insignificant in most colorimetric computations.
When the relative luminances of unit quantities of [R], [G] and [B] are deduced from the data of Table 1,
the values obtained are 1,000 0 to 4,588 8 to 0,060 3 instead of 1,000 0 to 4,590 7 to 0,060 1, the relative

are also considered insignificant in practice.
The values given in CIE 15 at 5 nm intervals agree exactly with those given in Table 1.
6 Derivation of the colour-matching functions for the CIE 1964 standard
colorimetric observer
6.1 Experimental basis
The CIE 1964 colour-matching functions xyλλ,,z λ were derived from experimental work

10 10 10
[3] [4]
carried out by Stiles and Burch and by Speranskaya in which a total of 67 observers matched
monochromatic stimuli of the spectrum from approximately 390 nm to 830 nm with additive mixtures
of red, green, and blue lights, using observing fields of 10° angular subtense (but ignoring the central
4° or so).
6.2 Transformation procedures
The experimental results were converted into those that would have been obtained if the matching had
been carried out using, as reference colour stimuli, monochromatic radiations of wavenumbers

corresponding approximately to wavelengths 645,2 nm, 526,3 nm and 444,4 nm, respectively. The
units used for the quantities of [R ], [G ] and [B ] were such that equal amounts were required to
10 10 10
match the equi-energy spectrum. A weighted average of the results for the 67 observers was used to
provide a set of colour-matching functions rgνν,,b ν . The CIE 1964 colour-matching

(14). The values in the range of 360 nm to 390 nm are extrapolations.
6.3 Transformation properties
The transformation given in Formulae (12) to (14) was chosen to achieve a colorimetric system (X ,
10
Y , Z ) having a coordinate system broadly similar to that of the CIE 1931 (X, Y, Z) system. However, in
10 10
the 1964 system, the data were not constrained to fit the CIE V(λ) spectral luminous efficiency function,
and the Y tristimulus value is not proportional to luminance calculated using the V(λ) function.

7 Practical application of colour-matching functions for CIE standard
colorimetric observers
7.1 Obtaining tristimulus values
The data given in Tables 1 and 2 provide the tristimulus values and chromaticity coordinates of all
monochromatic stimuli directly or by interpolation. For stimuli consisting of radiation of various
wavelengths, the tristimulus values X, Y, Z and X , Y , Z are calculated by integration over the
