title: Chromatic adaptation and the blue-green side of the color triangle.
abstract: This is an attempt to show with chromatic adaptation data that the line tangent to the spectrum locus at about 460 nm and passing through the tritanopic confusion point represents the blue-green leg of the triangle of fundamental colors. The inability to use chromatic adaptation to produce colors in the green corner of the triangle has been explained in terms of a zone theory of color vision.
