Abstract
In this article, we study a color reproduction method to match the appearance of skin color images on a CRT with a hardcopy under various viewing illuminants. Three color appearance models, von Kries, Fairchild, and CIELAB, were applied to predict color reproduction on a CRT display. The optimum color appearance model to predict color reproduction was estimated by psychophysical experiments based on memory matching. As a result of the experiment, differences in visual perception between skin color patches and facial pattern images are also described.
