3、tteeof the Optical Society ofAmerica in the years between 1947 and 1974 in an effort to provide a systemand a set of samples that represent the closest possible approximation to equal visual spacing (1).2Thesystem is defined by a set of equations derived from the results of visual scaling experiment
4、s andrelated to the 1964 CIE system. The OSA sample set consisted of 558 atlas samples that fell at thelattice points of a rhombohedral close-packed arrangement within the color space defined by theequations. The unit in this spacing is a cuboctahedron, each color being surrounded by twelveequidista
5、nt nearest neighbors. See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Fig. 3 shows a OSA-UCS lightness plane plottedon the CIE 1964 chromaticity diagram. The OSA-UCS system is described in Appendix X1.The system is independent of the OSA-UCS atlas samples, and other groups of samples could bechosen within the defined color
6、space; however, for the visual determination of colors described in thisstandard, the OSA set of samples is used.1. Scope1.1 This practice provides a means for specifying the colorsof objects in terms of the Optical Society of America UniformColor Scales. Both computational and visual methods areinc
7、luded. The practice is limited to opaque objects, such aspainted surfaces, viewed in daylight by an observer havingnormal color vision.1.2 This practice does not cover the preparation of speci-mens. If the preparation of specimens is required in conjunc-tion with this practice, a mutually agreed upo

However, thisdoes not imply that the j and g axes indicate
16、 the locations of thecorresponding unitary hues: The + j axis closely approximates the direc-tion toward unitary yellow; but the + g axis divides the green and blueregions, the j axis divides the blue and purple regions, and the g axislocates pinks and magentas. It is probably best to think of j and

DESCRIPTION OF OSA-UCS SYSTEMX1.1 An atlas
43、of OSA-UCS samples had been created for,and had been available from, the Optical Society of America4.The painted samples contained in the atlas closely represent,when viewed by observers with normal color vision underdaylight illumination (D65) and on a gray surround of 30 %luminous reflectance, the
44、 colors of the OSA-UCS as specifiedby the CIE 1964 XYZcolor coordinates for standardilluminant D65given in Table 1.X1.2 All colors of medium lightness (approximately 30 %luminous reflectance) are represented by points on the squarelattice of the horizontal plane L = 0. The planes parallel to andabov
45、e L = 0 are denoted by L =1,L = 2, etc. The planesparallel to and below L = 0 are denoted by L = 1, L = 2,etc.There are only a few points on the planes L = 5 and L =7representing colors that are reproducible by stable paint mix-tures.X1.3 In each plane of constant lightness (L), latticecoordinates (
46、j, g) are used to identify the lattice points. Both jand g are zero for grays. The coordinates j and g are points ontwo axes perpendicular to one another on a constant-lightnessE1360 05 (2010)11plane. One of these axes, j, passes from yellow through thecentral gray to blue, while the other axis, g, passes from greenthrough the central gray to red. The yellow half of one axis ofthe lightness plane consists of increasing positive values of jcoupled with zero values of g. The blue half of that axis
