Introduction
This page contains supplementary documentation for the article “The Location of Optimal Object Colors with More Than Two Transitions,” which has been published in Color Research and Application. Any reference to “the Article” on this page refers to this publication. Please contact the author for publication requests.

Section 7. Other Illuminants
In Section 7 of the Article, five different highly chromatic illuminants were examined, having chromaticities matching Munsell colors 5R 5/14, 5Y 8/16, 5G 7/10, 5B 6/10, and 5P 4/12. A plot of the chromaticity diagram was presented, showing the high-transition regions associated with each illuminant, plus a sixth equal energy illuminant. Figure SD-1 below presents the same high-transition data shown in Figure 9 of the Article, but plotted on the object color solid (OCS), as viewed from the outside.
Figure SD-1. The effect of five highly chromatic illuminants on the regions of high-transition optimal colors, as view from the outside of the OCS.
The dashed lines are projections of the OCS onto the XZ and YZ planes. This figure was not included in the Article because the Article was getting too long and figure laden. It is shown here for completeness.
Logvinenko’s Object Color Space Color Descriptors
Section 5 of the Article compares the high-transition, LP-generated optimal color to the two-transition Schrödinger color existing along a common ray emanating from the 50% gray point in the center of the object color solid (OCS). In order to compute the two-transition color, it was necessary to determine the 
and 
color descriptors, as developed by Alexander Logvinenko in his “object color space” paper.
Each point on the surface of the OCS has corresponding, unique and color descriptors, and these descriptors can be computed from the spherical coordinates 
and 
. These two color descriptors are then used by the MATLAB code developed by Masaoka and Berns to generate the two-transition color.
Figures SD-2 and SD-3 present contour plots of the two color descriptors on the polar mappings of the spherical coordinates for the top and bottom halves of the OCS.
