Color threshold measurements in scotopic vision. 3. Simultaneous color contrast.

Stabell, U. & Stabell, B. Color threshold measurements in scotopic vision. III. Simultaneous color contrast. Scand J. Psychol., 1968, 9, 133–137.—Color may be observed well below the break-point level of the dark adaptation curve, suggesting that the impulse pattern initiated in the rods may trigger a color-related response. Color is induced when the intensity of the inducing field reaches a certain level above the specific threshold, provided the stimulation of the test field is observable.
