About Me

This is a website about color science — still a work in progress, but growing.

Over my career I have built up a broad background in light and color: written materials, software libraries, presentations, and hands-on work with electronic devices using light and color sensors. Color is a rich subject, and I hope sharing what I have learned here is useful to others.

The site is aimed at anyone working with color in a practical context — students on a color-related project, lighting designers, photographers, display engineers. You will find interactive calculators and measurement tools covering a range of topics in light and color science.

I believe the best way to learn colorimetry is by doing calculations, not just reading about them. The colorimetry library and the interactive tools in the toolbox are there for exactly that purpose. The library implements a wide range of colorimetric algorithms and comes with a growing collection of spectral data — light sources, paints, displays, and camera sensitivities.
