Fig. 5. Spectral loci (MR, MG and
MB) of points 1-12 in
Fig. 2 plotted within the
equilateral red-green-blue colour triangle, the colourless centre of which is
represented by +. The rectangular areas of the colour triangle are enlarged
and shown next to the triangle, with arrows starting from the spectral locus
of real colours perceived by a polarization-blind retina with
PB=PG=PR=1 and
ßR, ßG, ßB = arbitrary, while
the arrowheads point to the spectral locus of false colours perceived by a
polarization-sensitive retina with
PB=PG=PR=2,
=0°, ßR=145°, ßG=35° and
ßB=0°.
