This unique book starts with a short historical overview of the development of the theories and
applications of industrial color physics. The three dominant factors producing color - light source,
color sample, and observer - are described in detail. The standardized color spaces are shown and
related color values are applied to characteristic color qualities of absorption as well as of effect
colorants. The fundamentals of spectrometric and colorimetric measuring techniques together with
specific applications are described. Theoretical models for radiative transfer in transparent,
translucent, and opaque layers are detailed; the two, three, and multi-flux approximations are
presented for the first time in a coherent formalism. These methods constitute the fundamentals not
only for the important classical methods, but also modern methods of recipe prediction applicable to
all known colorants.

The work describes in detail the fundamentals as well as the latest developments in research,
in particular to be able to work extensively in the far-reaching fields of industrial color physics.
