Colour names and focal colours on electronic displays / R. Kaufmann and M.C. O'Neill

Sumario: This study identified the colours that were perceived as being the best examples (focal colours) of 10 common colour names when viewed on an electronic display. Forty subjects chose what was perceived as the best examples for each of the following colour terms: purple, blue, aqua, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, grey, and white. Results show that focal colours on a CRT (cathode ray tube) do not always correspond to the typical colours used or to the best examples for reflective surface colours
