Abstract:
In the author's theory of color vision the blue and the green fundamental fall on a tritanopic confusion line. This provides the basis for comparing the mixture data of a tritanope with those of a normal. At the red end of the spectrum the data conform very well to what is predicted by theory. At the blue end the data point to the possibility that the pigment responsible for the red response may differ from the pigment involved at the red end of the spectrum.

The positive direction of the t-axis aligns with the increasing position of the car along the curved path, denoted by the unit vector ut. Simultaneously, the n-axis, perpendicular to the t-axis, dissects the curved path into differential arc segments, each forming the arc of a circle with a radius of...
