Light and Colour Theories, and their relation to light and colour standardization

Other noticeable points are the small action under the Orange, Green
and Violet screens, and the greater, although variable proportion of
colour to black under all the colour screens.
TRICHROMATIC COLOUR SCREENS.
Table VIII contains the colour measurements of five sets of screens for
trichromatic colour work which have come from time to time under the
writer’s notice.
The measurements are the tintometrical colour units required to match
the screens under daylight conditions, and are classified under the
theoretically accepted terms of Red, Green and Violet.

The Red screens are all practically pure except No. 5, which transmits
also 30 per cent. Violet. No. 1 is distinguished by its greater colour
depth and purity, the degree of which latter is recorded at 1·6 light
units brighter than standard.
In the Green division, only Nos. 1 and 5 transmit any green, No. 1
transmitting also 42·8 per cent. yellow and being 9·0 units brighter
than standards; No. 4 transmits 66·6 per cent. yellow to 33·3 per cent.
green; Nos. 2, 3 and 4 are all yellows tinged with orange.
In the Violet division, Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 are all pure blues; No. 1 is
tinged with green.
Appendix I
COLOUR EDUCATION
The time has passed when it might have been considered necessary to
preface a handbook on the teaching of colour by arguments to prove that
it is a legitimate subject of instruction in schools, but it has not
hitherto been sufficiently recognized that the early stages of such
instruction must be on sound lines and that nothing must be taught
which will afterwards have to be unlearned.
