- When visual fields are isoluminant, they look the same to our luminance processing pathway, while potentially looking quite different to the color processing path. This creates a perceptual tension exploited by skilled artists.2005, Luong et al., “Isoluminant Color Picking for Non-Photorealistic Rendering”, in (Please provide the book title or journal name):
