The Colour Science Precis is a set of posters designed for the computer-generated imagery artist.
Its purpose is to provide essential understanding and terminology for practical application of colour science in the media and entertainment industry. The Precis takes its roots in Cinematic Color 2, the unreleased sequel to Cinematic Color by Jeremy Selan. Capturing the entirety of Cinematic Color 2 in a few images is impossible, we thus cherry-picked the material we thought was important to be readily available.
Colour science is a constant evolving field of research: We do not yet have a full understanding on how vision works, thus this Precis is merely a snapshot of useful knowledge and will be updated in the future.
PDF versions are also available alongside in the posters directory.
A copy of the Figma file is available in Colour Science Precis.
Many of the figures were authored using Colour and Google Colab.
