Five color-appearance transformations were compared in a series of psychophysical experiments under a variety of viewing conditions. These transformations included the Hunt model, the Nayatani model, RLAB, CIELAB color space, and von Kries chromatic adaptation. Observers compared original printed images viewed under one set of viewing conditions to reproductions view?ed on a monitor with differing conditions. These conditions varied in white point, luminance level, background reflectance, and surround. Reproductions were produced using the various color-appearance models and observers decided which reproduction was the closest match to the original. RLAB was found to produce the most acceptable reproductions, except for changes in surround. CIELAB and von Kries adaptation also performed well.
