About This Book

The text develops a practical system for measuring and standardizing colour, arguing that colour is a determinable property and describing instruments and graded glass scales built from red, yellow and blue units. It outlines the evolution of the method and unit, explains derivation of colour from white light and proposes a standard white light for comparison. The author defines qualitative and quantitative nomenclature and shows how combinations of calibrated glass slips and equations produce reproducible colour matches. Colour charts, tintometrical plates and three‑dimensional representations illustrate procedures, while spectra, absorption and fading curves connect optical theory to industrial and physiological applications; appendices cover education and prospects for a universal unit.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] It was afterwards found that these colour changes through variations of intensities were due to a natural law to be described under the heading of “Specific colour.” (See page 32.)

[2] For description of the light and colour units, refer to chap. III, page 9.

[3] It was found that the superimposition of two glasses did not visually disturb equivalence, therefore only two glasses were used for each observation in constructing the scales.

[4] This method of illustration was suggested by Dr. Herbert Munro.

Transcriber’s notes:

Missing or incorrect punctuation has been repaired.
Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation have been left,

In the html version, dittos have been replaced by the repeated text so that text aligns for easier reading.

Very wide tables (V and VI and VII)have been split to fit on portrait oriented pages.

The following mistakes have been noted:

  • p. 21. NiSO_{4}7H_{2}O, tem." is formatted inconsistently. Left as printed.
  • p. 40. Fraunhoper is almost certainly a typo for Fraunhofer. Left as printed.
  • p. 46. interpretated changed to interpreted.
  • p. 55. In Paper 6 of table, Red screen, yellow entry, from alignment and logic, the 6 should be .6. Left as printed
  • p. 61 conditonschanged to conditions.
