Abstrakt: An understanding of CIE color space is critical to one's grasp of the clinical diagnosis of color vision deficiencies. ColorSpace is an educational computer program that interactively demonstrates color specification, additive color mixture and color complements in CIE color space. It allows the classroom instructor to explore the following principles about color: • Combination of red, green and blue primaries to create colors • Specification of colors as hue, saturation and brightness • Dominant wavelength and excitation purity of colors and mixtures • Mixture of colors in CIE color space • Position of the white point in the CIE diagram • Movement of a color towards the white point or the spectral locus with changes in saturation • Independence of CIE coordinates on brightness • Location of a complement relative to the white point • Mixture of complementary colors to create an achromatic tone ColorSpace is the first donation to the planned ASCO Informatics SIC repository of open-source optometric educational software.
