The color series began with the one hundred thirty-six colors as put
out by the Milton Bradley Co. This series consists of ninety pure
spectrum colors, ten whites, blacks, and grays, and thirty-six broken
spectrum colors. The colors were exposed at the back of a semicircular
black-lined box for about two seconds. The subject was seated at a
convenient distance, about three and a half feet, from the colors. In
order to have a constant light, all experiments were conducted in a
dark room with an electric light suspended over the subject's head.
The whole series was used for ten times in order to get the range of
judgments. Then twenty-eight colors, covering as fully as possible the
range from 1 to 7, were selected for further experiment in combination.
At the same time a series of thirty-six touches, from velvet to
sandpaper, was being employed as the colors were. From this number
fourteen were finally selected.
Similarly, by using a reed box, with reeds ranging from 128 to 1024
vibrations per second and separated from each other by four vibrations,
from a much larger series twenty-seven tone-combinations were finally
selected.
Moreover, from time to time, each selected series was given alone; and
on the basis of these readings, averaging from thirty to forty, the
"standard" for each stimulus was made. Tables I to III give a brief
description of the stimuli and also the "standards" for each of two
subjects, F. and M.
