Focal colors and unique hues.
This study is an empirical investigation of the extent to which focal colors and unique hues of red, green, blue, and yellow are related. 40 young adults were asked to pick focal colors and unique hues from 100 color patches printed on white paper. Their saturation was varied in four levels. Analysis showed mean focal colors and mean unique hues were almost identical for the four color terms.
