{{Short description|Scientific study of colors}} '''Color science''' is the [[science|scientific]] study of [[color]] including [[lighting]] and [[optics]]; [[Photometry (optics)|measurement of light]] and [[colorimetry|color]]; the [[physiology]], [[psychophysics]], and [[color model|modeling]] of [[color vision]]; and [[color reproduction]]. It is the modern extension of [[traditional color theory]]. == Organizations == * [[International Commission on Illumination]] (CIE) * [[Illuminating Engineering Society]] (IES) * [[Inter-Society Color Council]] (ISCC) * [[Society for Imaging Science and Technology]] (IS&T) * [[International Colour Association]] (AIC) * [[Optica (society)|Optica]], formerly the Optical Society of America (OSA) * [[The Colour Group]] * [[Society of Dyers and Colourists]] (SDC) * [[American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists]] (AATCC) * [[Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology]] (ARVO) * [[ACM SIGGRAPH]] * [[Vision Sciences Society]] (VSS) * [[Council for Optical Radiation Measurements]] (CORM) == Journals == The preeminent [[scholarly journal]] publishing research papers in color science is ''[[Color Research and Application]]'',<ref>{{Cite web |title=Color Research and Application |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/15206378 |access-date=30 Aug 2023}}</ref> started in 1975 by founding editor-in-chief [[Fred Billmeyer]], along with [[Gunter Wyszecki]], [[Michael R. Pointer|Michael Pointer]] and [[Rolf Kuehni]], as a successor to the ''[[Journal of Colour]]'' (1964–1974). Previously most color science work had been split between journals with broader or partially overlapping focus such as the ''[[Journal of the Optical Society of America]]'' (JOSA), ''[[Photographic Science and Engineering]]'' (1957–1984), and the ''Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists'' (renamed ''[[Coloration Technology]]'' in 2001). Other journals where color science papers are published include the ''[[Journal of Imaging Science & Technology]]'', the ''[[Journal of Perceptual Imaging]]'', the ''[[Journal of the International Colour Association]]'' (JAIC), the ''[[Journal of the Color Science Association of Japan]]'', ''[[Applied Optics]]'', and the ''[[Journal of Vision]]''. == Conferences == * [[Congress of the International Color Association]] * IS&T [[Color and Imaging Conference]] (CIC) * [[SIGGRAPH]] * [[International Symposium for Color Science and Art]] == Selected books == * {{cite book |last=Berns |first=Roy S. |authorlink=Roy S.
