Color Spaces and Color Metrics

The absorptions by the cone photoreceptors govern many of the important properties of color vision. Perhaps the most important consequence of the cone properties is that, even without reference to the spatial structure of the image, knowledge of the cone absorption properties can be used to predict when a pair of lights with different spectral power distributions will match in appearance. While the cone absorptions may tell us that two lights match, without knowing the spatial pattern of absorptions we do not know much about the appearance of the lights; do they appear light, or dark? Red or green?
