Rod intrusion into a colour match occurs when

  • A.the luminance level falls low enough for rods to contribute
  • B.the sample is viewed at an unusually high luminance level
  • C.the observer has a colour vision deficiency
  • D.the field size is reduced below one degree

Answer: A

Correct answer: the luminance level falls low enough for rods to contribute

At mesopic levels the rods are still responding, and since they have a spectral sensitivity of their own their signal disturbs the cone-based match. A match set at a low light level can therefore fail at a higher one. Assessment is carried out at a specified and adequate illuminance to keep the rods out of it.
