Apparent hue of the traffic light signals in the photopic and scotopic vision was investigated employing the color-naming method. Color-naming method of 10 grade evaluation was used. Five observers with normal color vision and visual acuity participated in this experiment. Apparent hue of the blue traffic light signals ranged from greenish-blue to yellowish-green in the chromaticity diagram, and considerable number of signals deviated from the recommendations of both CIE and traffic control institution in Japan. Hue shift of the traffic light signals in the scotopic vision was also compared to the photopic one. The results showed that blue and white components of the blue light signals increased to about 50% and 15% respectively in the scotopic vision. This suggests that apparent hue of the traffic light signals changes considerably according to the adaptation levels of car driver's visual system. Disadvantage for the blue light signals in Japan was also pointed out considering the characteristic of our color vision.
