The
purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of figural unity
of non-annular test figure (TF) on simultaneous hue contrast in Koffka-ring
type patterns. To manipulate the figural unity systematically, we
used a color-graphic system to examine the two stimulus conditions
(seven degrees of separation and two styles of division) of the TF.
Five subjects adjusted comparison figure to match the apparent hues
of two TF sections overlapping a red-and-green inducing figure with
gray background. The results revealed that the magnitudes of hue
contrast (MHCs) in the undivided TF decreased as the degree of separation
decreased, and that the MHCs in the divided TF remained almost unchanged.
In conclusion, the MHCs were significantly affected by the figural
unity in separating and dividing the TF, and this finding was closely
related to the magnitudes of brightness contrast in our previous
study (Goto, et al., 1991) using Koffka-ring type patterns.
