Principles of Color Measurement Principles of Color Anatomy of the CIE Chromaticity Diagram Anatomy of the CIE Chromaticity Diagram Spectral Locus Spectral Locus Colors at maximum saturation. Colors at maximum saturation. Planckian Locus Planckian Locus Dominant Wavelength Dominant Color of light emitted by a black body at a given temperature. Color of light emitted by a black body at a given temperature. Used to calculate Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of Used to calculate Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of white light sources in Kelvin (K). white light sources in Kelvin (K). Intersection point on the spectral locus locus Intersection by a line originating at white and then then by a line projected through a given color. projected Purity (Excitation Purity) Purity The ratio of the distance of white to a a The ratio stimulus stimulus with respect to the distance of distance of white to white to the dominant wavelength on the on the spectral spectral locus (expressed as a percentage). percentage).

The Language of Light Luminous Flux (lumens) Luminous Intensity (candela) (candela per meter squared) (lumens per meter squared) Units of Measurement: Photometry Luminous Flux Luminous Intensity Spectral Power Distribution Every light source is defined by its unique spectral power distribution (SPD), which is the radiant power (Watts) emitted by the light source at each wavelength in the visible electromagnetic spectrum. Total output of a light source in all directions Luminous flux emitted per unit solid angle Photometry vs. Radiometry Total light output Light from a direction Light incident...
