Review of Color perception testing charts (Vol. 1); Color perception training charts (Vol. 2)

Abstract

Reviews the book, Color perception testing charts (Vol. 1); Color perception training charts (Vol. 2) by Israel Dvorine (1944). These charts are of the pseudo-isochromatic type. There are 60 perception and 70 training plates. Tests for naming colors and for training in color naming are included. The colors employed are based on the subtractive color theory. The training charts "educate" or coach people to name colors and to pass pseudo-isochromatic color-blind tests such as for the Navy or the Air Corps. It would seem that the widespread use of these training tests would tend to nullify the usefulness of all pseudo-isochromatic tests of color vision.
