equivalentMunsellChips {aqp}

Identify "equivalent" (whole number value/chroma) Munsell chips

Description

Uses a pre-calculated lookup list (equivalent_munsell) based on pair-wise CIE2000 contrast (dE00) of LAB color with D65 illuminant for all whole value/chroma "chips" in the aqp::munsell data set.

The intention is to identify Munsell chips that may be "functionally equivalent" to some other given whole value/chroma chip elsewhere in the Munsell color space – as discretized in the aqp::munsell data table. This basic assumption needs to be validated against your end goal: probably by visual inspection of some or all of the resulting sets. See colorContrast and colorContrastPlot.

"Equivalent" chips table are based (fairly arbitrarily) on the 0.001 probability level of dE00 (default Type 7 quantile) within the upper triangle of the 8467x8467 contrast matrix. This corresponds to a dE00 contrast threshold of approximately 2.15.

Usage

equivalentMunsellChips(hue = NULL, value = NULL, chroma = NULL)

Arguments

hue

A character vector containing Munsell hues

value

A numeric vector containing Munsell values (integer only)

chroma

A numeric vector containing Munsell chromas (integer only)

Value

A named list; Each list element contains a data.frame with one or more rows of "equivalent" Munsell, RGB and LAB color coordinates from munsell data set.
