Abstract

Continuing our work to further understand the characteristics of stimulus values of a single tristimulus dimension in colors obtained by subtractive color mixture, discussions proceed related to realistic colorants. New theorems are intended to provide for the establishment of bounds for realistic colorants in mixtures when stimulus measurements of the constituent single‐colorant samples and the illuminant are obtainable. Related to the new theorems, a formulation is derived for the calculation of the bounds of realistic colorants whose spectral transmittances are represented by weighted combinations of basic functions. By solving the formulation, numerical illustrations are provided for various conditions. The results contribute toward a comprehensive modeling of subtractive color mixture. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
