Museum Lighting, Colour Constancy and Melanopsin


Abstract

Summary:

This paper discusses the role of intrinsically photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells (ipRGCs) in color constancy, particularly in the context of museum lighting, and explores whether a melanopsin signal might contribute to an observer’s ability to achieve color constancy.

Categories

  • Lighting Design Considerations: The paper explores how different lighting conditions, particularly in museums, can affect color perception and the role of ipRGCs in this process.
  • Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses color constancy, a cognitive process that allows us to perceive colors consistently across different lighting conditions.
  • Eye health: The paper investigates the role of ipRGCs, a type of cell in the retina, in color perception and constancy.
