The ï¬rst three chapters lay the foundation of color vision, appearance, and numerical representation of color. Chapter 2 nicely illustrates some of the common âcolor illusions,â such as afterimages, simultaneous contrast, Bezold Effect, and adaptation.

The reader does not have to dwell on them to grasp the concepts. Chapter 4 is a break in the rhythm of the book. Its title âColor in Natureâ is what I initially thought the book was about when I ï¬rst saw the full color ï¬oral images on the cover and chapter dividers, and the words âField Guideâ in the title glossed over the important word âDigital.â After having covered the rather dry but necessary concepts of wavelength, rods, cones, tristimulus values, color spaces, RGB, gamma, etc., Ms. Stone reminds us in this chapter
