The Color Pipeline : A Compendium of colorimetry and light perception for the Computer Graphics programmer

This article has 3 knowledge levels :

  • The first level is this article itself, which is going to attempt to sum up what I could grasp of the vast subject (!!) that is color perception
  • The article will sometimes refer to another page called Colorimetry where technical informations regarding specific details are available
  • The Colorimetry page itself will sometimes refer to even more detailed informations and equations that will help performing various tasks

This article is a poor attempt at gathering all the important notions and is a digest of the enormous amount of available informations about colors, color spaces, color profiles, color corrections, color grabbing and color display.
