眼睛能分辨多少种颜色？已出版的文献在为这一重要问题提供答案方面效率明显低下。一份经常被引用的参考文献写道：“在最佳的观测条件下，正常的人眼可以分辨出1000万种表面颜色。”遗憾的是，作者未能就这一数字的来源提供任何进一步的信息，但这篇简短的贡献描述了一些历史上试图回答这个问题的尝试，然后提出了一个现实的解决方案。(C)1998年John Wiley&Sons，Inc.
How many colours can the eye distinguish? The published literature is remarkably inefficient at providing an answer to this important question. An often quoted reference states that "10 million surface colours can be distinguished by the normal human eye under optimum observing conditions. " Unfortunately, the authors fail to provide any further information as to thr origin of this figure, This short contribution describes some of the historical attempts at answering the question, and then suggests a realistic solution.
