colour.whiteness

colour.whiteness(XYZ, XYZ_0, method='CIE 2004', **kwargs)[source]

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

Parameters
  • XYZ (array_like) – CIE XYZ tristimulus values of sample.

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

  • method (unicode, optional) – {‘CIE 2004’, ‘Berger 1959’, ‘Taube 1960’, ‘Stensby 1968’, ‘ASTM E313’, ‘Ganz 1979’}, Computation method.

Other Parameters

observer (unicode, optional) – {colour.colorimetry.whiteness_CIE2004()}, {‘CIE 1931 2 Degree Standard Observer’, ‘CIE 1964 10 Degree Standard Observer’}, CIE Standard Observer used for computations, tint \(T\) or \(T_{10}\) value is dependent on viewing field angular subtense.

Returns

whiteness \(W\).
