Abstract: Studies are reported of two systems for color reproduction: (1) a two-primary system with red and white primaries and (2) a three-primary red, white and blue system. Both systems were found to give a pleasant though pastel reproduction, with the red, white and blue system having a better color range, particularly at high luminance. In comparison with conventional red, green and blue systems, the white-primary systems offer improved reproduction of low-saturation hues, e.g., skin tones, with some sacrifice of color range.
