colour.colorimetry.whiteness_Ganz1979

colour.colorimetry.whiteness_Ganz1979(xy: ArrayLike, Y: ArrayLike) → NDArrayFloat

Return the whiteness index \(W\) and tint \(T\) of given sample CIE xy chromaticity coordinates using Ganz and Griesser (1979) method.

Parameters:

• xy (ArrayLike) – Chromaticity coordinates CIE xy of the sample.

• Y (ArrayLike) – Tristimulus \(Y\) value of the sample.

Returns:

Whiteness \(W\) and tint \(T\).

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

• The formula coefficients are valid for CIE Standard Illuminant D Series D65 and CIE 1964 10 Degree Standard Observer.

• Positive output tint \(T\) values indicate a greener tint while negative values indicate a redder tint.

• Whiteness differences of less than 5 Ganz units appear to be indistinguishable to the human eye.

• Tint differences of less than 0.5 Ganz units appear to be indistinguishable to the human eye.
