The radius vector of a given color in the color space is called the color stimulus. A color stimulus is the equivalent, expressed numerically, of the physiological sensation of color of a "standard observer" with normal color vision. The mathematical simulation of the assessment of a radiation stimulus through the eye and brain converts this stimulus into a color stimulus, which can be unambiguously described by three factors, e.g. hue, saturation and brightness. 1, record 1, English, - color%20stimulus
