Summary
This paper explores how illuminance levels and observer age interact to influence color perception, with reference to the role of ipRGCs in non-visual light processing. Practical implications include the need to tailor lighting color and intensity in environments serving older populations to compensate for age-related changes in visual and circadian photoreception.
