About this book
This fully revised and expanded 2nd edition provides a single authoritative resource describing the concepts of color and the application of color science across research and industry.
Significant changes for the 2nd edition include:
New and expanded sections on color engineering
More entries on fundamental concepts of color science and color terms
Many additional entries on specific materials
Further material on optical concepts and human visual perception
Additional articles on organisations, tools and systems relevant to color
A new set of entries on 3D presentation of color
In addition, many of the existing entries have been revised and updated to ensure that the content of the encyclopedia is current and represents the state of the art. The work covers the full gamut of color: the fundamentals of color science; thephysics and chemistry; color as it relates to optical phenomena and the human visual system; and colorants and materials. The measurement of color is described through entries on colorimetry, color spaces, color difference metrics, color appearance models, color order systems and cognitive color.
The encyclopedia also has extensive coverage of applications throughout industry, including color imaging, color capture, display and printing, and descriptions of color encodings, color management, processing color and applications relating to color synthesis for computer graphics are included. The broad scope of the work is illustrated through entries on color in art conservation, color and architecture, color and education, color and culture, and biographies of some of the key figures involved in color research throughout history.
With over 250 entries from color science researchers across academia and industry, this expanded 2nd edition of the Encyclopedia of Color Science and Technology remains the most important single resource in color science.

About the editor
Renzo Shamey is the CIBA professor and Director of Color Science and Imaging Laboratories at the Wilson College of Textiles of North Carolina State University. His past duties included directing the Polymer and Color Chemistry program at North Carolina State University for about nine years, Chair of Color Measurement Test Methods Committee of AATCC, activity in the CIE Technical committees. He has published well over 200 manuscripts and technical reports as well as several books and book chapters. His current research areas include color perception including unique hues, examination of blackness, grayness, and whiteness and small color differences. Over the last 10 years his group has focused on the development of imaging techniques for color quality control of multicolored objects, examination of the role of texture on color differences and analysis of observer variability. He has served as the president of the Inter Society Color Council and is a Fellow of the society of Dyers and Colourists (UK) and co‐author of the “Pioneers of Color Science”, Springer International.
