colour.whiteness#

colour.whiteness(XYZ: ArrayLike, XYZ_0: ArrayLike, method: Literal['ASTM E313', 'CIE 2004', 'Berger 1959', 'Ganz 1979', 'Stensby 1968', 'Taube 1960'] | str = 'CIE 2004', **kwargs: Any) → NDArrayFloat[source]#

Return the whiteness \(W\) using given method.

Parameters:

  • XYZ (ArrayLike) – CIE XYZ tristimulus values of the sample.

  • XYZ_0 (ArrayLike) – CIE XYZ tristimulus values of the reference white.

  • method (Literal['ASTM E313', 'CIE 2004', 'Berger 1959', 'Ganz 1979', 'Stensby 1968', 'Taube 1960'] | str) – Computation method.

  • observer – {colour.colorimetry.whiteness_CIE2004()}, CIE Standard Observer used for computations, tint \(T\) or \(T_{10}\) value is dependent on viewing field angular subtense.

  • kwargs (Any) –

Returns:

Whiteness \(W\).

Return type:

np.float or numpy.ndarray
