New study overturns 100-year-old understanding of color perception
&gt; <i>...could yield more vibrant computer displays, TVs, printed materials, textiles and more</i><p>I&#x27;m sorry, how exactly? From the paper&#x27;s abstract:<p>&gt; <i>Consequences of this apply to color metrics that are currently used in image and video processing, color mapping, and the paint and textile industries.</i><p>At best, I could imagine how computer-selected colors might be chosen differently, i.e. adding to the many ways in which gradients between two colors are computed.<p>But I can&#x27;t for the life of me imagine how computer displays might become more vibrant -- this isn&#x27;t going to affect the spectrum of backlights or LCD color filters or OLED phosphors or anything as far as I can tell? E.g. in the way that Macs shifted from sRGB screens to P3 screens for their color gamuts?<p>Similarly with paints and textiles -- this isn&#x27;t going to lead to new paints or dyes.<p>At the end of the day, colors -- whether in a movie scene or a paint chip -- are ultimately chosen by eye, not by math. So seems like the headline is making claims that can&#x27;t be substantiated?<p>Would love to know if I&#x27;m missing something here.
