The measurement of colour is important in many commercial operations and in various professions. Colour is clearly of major importance in the textile, paint and foodstuff industries, but in addition, it plays significant roles in the lighting, paper, printing, cosmetic, plastics, glass chemical, photographic, television, transport and communication industries. The professions in which colour is important include medicine, art, architecture, entertainment and design. Colour is affected by the type of lighting, by the nature of objects illuminated, and by the properties of the colour vision of observers; the interaction of these features are fully described and explained.

This third edition contains the latest developments in the theory and practice of measuring colour and also has a series of Appendices that provide a review of photometric measures and tables of data necessary for colour computations, and a glossary of terms and full index. Also Recommended: "Beyond Monochrome," "Creative Elements."
