Bezold-Brücke phenomenon
Associated persons:
Johann Friedrich Wilhelm von Bezold
Ernst Wilhelm Ritter von Brücke
Description:
A change to the perception of colours under the effects of increased light intensity, or, the apparent brightness of hues changes as illumination changes. With increasing intensity, wavelengths below 500 nm shift more toward blue, and above 500 hues shift more toward yellow (reds become yellower with increasing brightness).
