Weighted Color-Difference Equations (i) - Prior Equation The earliest weighted equation - 1936 Nickerson The optimized weighted equation -1942 Adams-Nickerson Developing a weighted equation requires a dataset of visual judgments.
Weighted Color-Difference Equations (ii) - Example RIT-DuPont dataset
JPC 79 Equation McDonald’s JPC 79 equation The sensitivity of delta H is modified by chroma and hue angle in JPC 97 equation.
CMC Color-Difference Equation Issues of McDonald’s JPC 79 equation - Dark colors - Near-neutral colors McLaren CMC (l:c) equation l ,c : weight of lightness and chroma CMC (2:1) = McDonald’s JPC 79 equation Compared with JPC 79 equation: 1. L*<16 SL=0.511 ,unless 2. The CMC equation is the optimized equation from JPC 79 equation by the user.
BFD Equation Dataset - Luo-Rigg dataset BFD Equation The arithmetic mean values of standard and batch in C and h are used in BFD equation.
The reference condition is considered! CIE94 Three dataset -Writt -Luo-Rigg -RIT-DuPont CIE 94 color difference equation The reference condition is considered!

The indices of metamerism are used. The illuminant metamerism – Samples The observer metamerism – Samples, Colored light The mismatch occurs due to a change in illumination. The mismatch occurs due to a change in observer. The indices of metamerism are used.
Metamerism Indices The metamerism index - metameric pair under a test condition The weighted metameric index Minimizing illuminant metamerism simultaneously minimizes observer metamerism.

Conclusions Either a uniform color-difference space or weighted color-difference equation can improve correlation. A uniform color-difference space is always a better solution. CIE forms a committee to establish more uniform color space for Industrial Color-Difference Evaluation.
