Control of chromatic adaptation: signals from separate cone classes interact.
Match stimuli presented on one side of a contextual image were adjusted to have the same appearance as test stimuli presented on the other side. Both full color and isochromatic contextual images were used. Contextual image pairs were constructed that had identical S-cone image planes, while their L- and M-cone image planes differed. The data show that the S-cone component of the matches depends on the L- and M-cone planes of the contextual image. This dependence means that matches obtained using isochromatic stimuli (lightness matches) may not be used directly to predict full color matches.
