Abstract
By applying the color-naming psychophysical method and a Wright colorimeter, a chromatic sequence produced by the mixture of different quantities of red-green and blue-yellow is described. Retinal mixtures are produced monocularly in the classical manner. When interaction at the cortex is desired, a dichoptic channel is added to the colorimeter. This channel can be adjusted to the observer’s interpupillary distance in order to superpose the stimuli in the two eyes. The data obtained show a clear difference between cortex and retina that fundamentally affects chromatic variables.
