a function of l of the incident light.

An Observer is a person or thing that observes. The sensitivity of each
individual's Eye is slightly different; even for people considered to
have "normal color vision" , there may be some bias toward red and blue.
Also, person's eyesight generally changes with age. Because of these factors,
colors will appear differently to each observer.

Standard Observer
In 1931, the CIE originally defined the standard Observer using a 2o field
of view, hence the name "2oStandard Observer"

In 1964, the CIE defined an additional standard Observer, this time based
upon a 10o field of view and this is referred to as the "10o Supplementary
Standard Observer“

The 2o standard Observer should be used for viewing angles of 1o to 4o

and the 10o supplementary standard Observer should be used for viewing
angles of more than 4o.

λ) color matching functions
The r10(λλ) curve is more than 3 times higher than the others because "red"
wavelengths have low luminance and moderate tinting strength, so more of the
R primary must be used to match the high luminance of the G primary and the
high tinting strength of the B primary.

 CIE 1931 XYZ standard Color matching functions
for 2°° observer
Y and z
The three CIE color matching functions (CMFs) are called X, , Y, Z, and for
practical color matching and display applications. These can be treated as if they
were the spectral response curves for the cone-receptors in the human eye.
While it is convenient to think of X, Y and Z as red, green and blue, owing to
their wide band and substantial overlap (especially of X and Y), this is a crude
approximation. XYZ – tristimulus values; x, y, z : tristimulus response of

 CIE Chromaticity Diagram (色品圖；
色品圖；色度座標圖)

This is an international standard for primary colors established in

1931. It allows all other colors to be defined as weighted sum of the
three "primary" colors. 1)There are no real three colors that can be
combined to give all possible colors. 2) Therefore, the standard
"primary" colors established by CIE don't correspond to real colors.

So the 3 "primary" colors are the virtual colors A, B, and C. Then

for a given real color, its components with respect to the
primaries are as follows:
x = A/(A+B+C)
y = B/(A+B+C)
z = C/(A+B+C)
Since x + y + z = 1, if x and y are known then z can be determined.

The CIE diagram is a plot of x vs. y for all visible colors

 The CIE Color Space

• The CIE system characterizes

colors by a luminance
parameter Y and two color
coordinates x and y which
specify the point on the
chromaticity diagram.
• the parameters are based on
the spectral power
distribution of the light
emitted from a colored object
and are factored by sensitivity
curves which have been
measured for the human eye.
CIE-1931 Chromaticity Coordinates as the Cartesian Coordinates used to
define color in the CIE color space. They are designated as x, y and z and are
the ratios of each of the tristimulus values X,Y and Z in relation to the sum of
the three. z=1-(x+y)
