title: Methodological consideration in color research.
abstract: Color can influence physical and emotional variables, but the evidence is equivocal. Replications are often hampered by inadequate specification of colored stimuli. It is proposed that a standardized method for reporting colored stimuli should be employed to facilitate empirical testing of the effects of color, namely, the CIE chromaticity coordinates x and y or Munsell values, for both allow translation from one to the other.
