colour.whiteness¶

colour.whiteness(XYZ: ArrayLike, XYZ_0: ArrayLike, method: Union[Literal['ASTM E313', 'CIE 2004', 'Berger 1959', 'Ganz 1979', 'Stensby 1968', 'Taube 1960'], str] = 'CIE 2004', **kwargs: Any) → FloatingOrNDArray[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 (Union[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.floating or numpy.ndarray
