Examples
“He considers that color is conveyed to the mind through a perceptive centre, and that this centre is only able to distinguish six definite points of difference (colors) in the spectrum. Therefore, for normal sight, he holds a hexachromatic theory of color-vision which is independent of light and shade.”
“Dr. Edridge-Green has classified colour-blind people according to whether they can perceive sis colours, five, four, three, two, or only one colour. Thus, one who distinguishes all six colours, or a hexachromatic person, may be considered as normal.”
“It is worth noting that in 1891 Dr. Edridge-Green, of St. John’s College, put forward the view, in his Colour Blindness, p. 103, that whereas normal vision is hexachromatic, there are persons who emphatically distinguish seven colours in the spectrum, exactly as did Newton—or rather the assistant on whom Newton always relied.”
“Most of us, they assert, are “hexachromatic”. We see red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.”
““Hexachromats” have normal color vision apart from their difficulty in discriminating indigo. “Heptachromats” are faultless color perceivers. The “hexachromatic” category is assumed to be the largest.”
“I think that some turtles potentially have hexachromatic vision due to different matches between expressed pigment and associated oil droplet!”
“The scale contains 493 separate sensations, which are structurally hexachromatic and visually colourless.”
“If a subject with normal (trichromatic) color vision wears the glasses in Fig. 8.24, his vision will be hexachromatic (six-color).”
“As Moss (1967b) says, meaningful estimations of chlorophylls b and c in the presence of their pheophytins will be achieved by either extending the trichromatic method to a hexachromatic one, in which pheophytins, as well as chlorophylls are estimated, or by using separation methods such as that devised by Parsons (1963) for chlorophyll c.”
“I WANT TO GO TO AT LEAST HEXACHROMATIC VISION WHERE AIR BECOMES SO TEXTURED I CAN MOUNT IT LIKE A BIRD — I WANT TO PIONEER THIS GOLDEN AGE OF HEXACHROMATIC VISION”
“The presence of six types of retinal cones confers the potential for hexachromatic (six-dimensional) color space but, as previously shown, if only the single cones are involved then tetrachromacy is more likely.”
“The RGB system has a wider scope than the CMYK one. It can, errr, *display* taxa that the CMYK cannot. Now, a hexachromatic system can display far *more*...”
“CMYKOG (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-blacK-Orange-Green) and CMYKLcLm (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-blacK-Light cyan-Light magenta) are two spaces of hexachromatic nature (i.e. six colors process).”
“actually, this reminds me of an idea I had a while ago, mostly for the image-transforms for a hypothetical piece of hardware, where each "pixel" would consist of: a^([sic]) origin (XYZ, local space); a normal vector (also local space); an RGBA value for each pixel (or maybe RGBA-IUV, or a hexachromatic system).”
“Given that Papilio butterflies have six classes of spectral receptors in the retina, is their color vision hexachromatic?”
“In theory, a rare women^([sic]) could even have hexachromatic vision but there is no evidence of that having ever occurred because we simply don’t test beyond tetrachromacy.”
“> Apple Customers aren't the market that WebObjects is trying to / >get.. The market that WebObjects is aimed at is the market that hates / >Apple. / This is 100% true. I am shocked at the hostility that a little bit of hexachromatic fruit can inspire.”
“I STILL get to heard the full album, my copy will STILL arrive through the door in it's^([sic]) bright shiny blister pack with it's^([sic]) glossy front cover that's been printed on a hexachromatic Heidelberg or Itek AB Dick press - it's STILL the same thing.”
“Hexachromatic printing (six colours compared to the four colours of the standard four-colour process) is becoming more widely available from printers extending the range of colours that designers can use without the need for special spot colours.”
“Some digital presses can print special colours, or use PMS (PANTONE Matching System) colours to provide hexachromatic enhancement of images.”
“Printing technology continues to expand the boundaries of colour reproduction, as developments such as six-colour hexachromatic printing push the colour gamut to new dimensions.”
“These divisors generate what may be called pentachromatic, pentenharmonic, hexachromatic, and hexenharmonic genera.”
“RAT(HYPOD/HEX)-7; 1+1 Rationalized hexachromatic/hexenharmonic genus derived from K. S. ’Bastard’; 48/47, 24/23, 4/3, 16/11, 96/65, 3/2, 2 / RAT(HYPOD/HEX/NO.2)-7; 1+2 RAT. hexachromatic/hexenharmonic genus derived from K.S.’s ’Bastard’ Hypodorian; 48/47, 16/15, 4/3, 16/11, 96/65, 32/21, 2 / RAT(HYPOD/HEX/NO.3)-7; 1+3 RAT. hexachromatic/hexenharmonic genus from K.S.’s ’Bastard’ Hypodorian; 48/47, 12/11, 4/3, 16/11, 96/65, 48/31, 2 / RAT(HYPOD/HEX/NO.4)-7; 1+4 RAT. hexachromatic/hexenharmonic genus from K.S.’s ’Bastard’ Hypodorian; 48/47, 48/43, 4/3, 16/11, 96/65, 96/61, 2”
