ABSTRACT<br />

We present a physically based model for predicting the visual appearance of<br />

artists’ paint, which is dependent <strong>on</strong> both <strong>time</strong> <strong>and</strong> the material that binds the<br />

colorant to a surface.<br />

In our study, we captured the reflectance spectra of a large number of paint<br />

samples at different intervals in <strong>time</strong> over the course of six m<strong>on</strong>ths. These paint<br />

samples were h<strong>and</strong>made to ensure material quality, using various <str<strong>on</strong>g>pigmented</str<strong>on</strong>g> col-<br />

orants <strong>and</strong> adhesive binding <strong>media</strong>. C<strong>on</strong>verting our spectral data into different<br />

perceptually uniform color spaces, we show very significant perceptual differences<br />

in two domains: the appearance of paint changes over <strong>time</strong>; <strong>and</strong> the appearance<br />

of <strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>pigmented</str<strong>on</strong>g> colorant varies when dispersed in different materials.<br />

Finally, we present an interactive viewer for predictive <str<strong>on</strong>g>pigmented</str<strong>on</strong>g> color mixture<br />

utilizing the paint reflectance spectra, Kubelka Munk theory <strong>and</strong> modern graphics<br />

hardware.
