Abstract

One of the most important decisions facing designers of colour displays is how to choose a colour, or set of colours for a display when the possible number or combination of choices is often in the millions. One way of determining colours is on the basis of how different they look, with colours that are easily told apart being necessary for many tasks such as reading, search and identification.
