Abstract
Many applications require changing the color of a visual stimulus, so that a linear trajectory through color space is traversed. The present paper outlines two methods for generating such trajectories on computer-controlled video systems. FORTRAN implementations of each method are provided, along with measures of interest for studies of color vision.
