“…to predict H-K compensated lightness, J HK , where J is the achromatic lightness of a stimulus, C is its chroma, which is raised to a fitted constant k, and f h ð Þ is fitted dependency on hue angle, h. 12,14,15,17 Sometimes an additional factor, f 2 J ð Þ, dependent on the lightness of the stimulus, is multiplied to C as well, 11 and some models use achromatic brightness Q and colorfulness M, instead of J and C, in order to predict H-K compensated brightness, Q HK . 13,14 However, there is no theoretical or empirical basis for the form of Equation 1 other than that it does a sufficient job of fitting each researcher's data.…”
