Abstract

The Philatelic Foundation is an educational institution concerned primarily with the authentication of postage stamps and related materials. A book, Color in Philately, is in preparation. Liaison between the ISCC and its member bodies is currently directed by Ms. Joyce S. Davenport, as Director of the ISCC. Those wishing to establish contact with any ISCC member body may request further information from her at DeSoto, Inc., 1700 S. Mt. Prospect Road, DesPlaines, Illinois 60018. Recommendations on Uniform Color Spaces, Color-Difference Equations, and Psychometric Color Terms Recommendations on uniform color spaces, color difference equations, and psychometric color terms have been published by the Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage (Supplement No.2 to CI E Publication No. 15).
