Color Science Lab — Research & Models
Advanced color science research tools: chromatic adaptation, appearance models, spectral analysis, and perceptual spaces.
Spectral Analysis
Spectral tools for emission lines, blackbody radiation, diffraction, metamerism, and visible spectrum exploration.
Open Spectral Analysis- Blackbody radiation
