The Hunt Effect

The Hunt effect is a phenomenon in which object colors at low light levels are perceived less saturated compared to those observed at higher light levels.


As this illustration demonstrates, a color's saturation appears to increase as the luminance increases. This effect can influence how we perceive color intensity on monitors with variable brightness levels.

So is the chroma the same in all four slices? It doesn't seem so to me, is my eye being fooled?
Thanks for all you share James

Is this related to the old saying, "All cats are black in the night"?
