Abstract
Quantitative measurement of the appearance of colored lights at the different eccentricities is important for both basic and applicative vision science. The purpose of this study is to measure color appearance of small field stimuli in the peripheral field. Fifty-five color stimuli of the CRT were used. The surround was a gray about N5.5. Color appearance was evaluated using an opponent-type color evaluation method, including blackness and whiteness evaluation, and categorical color naming method. One observer participated in this experiment. The results of categorical color naming showed that red and green responses decreased sharply than yellow and blue responses in the peripheral field.
