Abstract
To compare the color discrimination and then to study the retinal spectral response between young and old observers, 18 pairs of nearly metameric color patches based on 3 target colors (gray, nigger brown and light brown) were prepared, 40 color-normal observers (26 young observers aged from 20 to 25 and 14 old observers aged from 62 to 75) were organized to conduct the color difference experiments by using the method of psychological paired-comparison. The STRESS factor was computed between the visual color difference and CIE DE2000 values calculated from different color matching functions [CIE1931, CIE1964, S2, S6, S7, CIE2006 (age = 22, 68)]. The results show that there are significant differences about the performances of color matching functions (CMFs) between young and old observers. For young observers, CIE2006 (22y) CMFs gets the best performance, attended by S2 and S6 CMFs. For old observers, CIE1931 outperforms others.
