Abstract
A critical relationship exists between the spectral reflectance of flesh colour and a television camera's Red-Green spectral analysis. The basic spectral reflectance of flesh is uniquely shaped by oxyhemaglobin and reduced hemaglobin. Cosmetics have a similar spectral shape but are shifted in wavelength, causing them to be more critical of camera errors than flesh colour alone without cosmetics. Preliminary experiments have shown that a synthetic flesh colour line-up can achieve a high degree of picture matching. Vectorscope monitoring is recommended for quickly adjusting the reproduction of a lineup flesh colour as it is less prone to the disturbing effects of noise, and is quicker to use because it can be interpreted more directly than separate R, G and B waveforms. The preffered reproduction of flesh colour on colour television needs establishing in RGB or encoded terms using a synthetic flesh colour sample that considers the use and effect of cosmetics.
