This book presents the most complete translation to date of Erwin Schr�dinger’s work on colorimetry. In his work Schr�dinger proposed a projective geometry of color space, rather than a Euclidean line-element. He also proposed new (at the time) colorimetric methods – in detail and at length - which represented a dramatic conceptual shift in colorimetry. Schr�dinger shows how the trichromatic (or Young-Helmholtz) theory of color and the opponent-process (or Hering) theory of color are formally the same theory, or at least only trivially different. These translations of Schr�dinger’s bold concepts for color space have a fresh resonance and importance for contemporary color theory.

Review:

“I find Niall’s translation to be a faithful representation of what I view as Schr�dinger’s contributions to colorimetry (both fundamental and advanced). ... I stand in awe of Niall’s compendium of translations, each done independently of the earlier ones. The arguments one can have about which translation is more ‘correct’ will be around for a long time and cannot be escaped. For the academician/color-theorist, this book is a must-read.” (Michael H. Brill, Color Research and Application, Vol. 43 (04), August, 2018)
