This is a comment on Prof. Rolf G. Kuehni's article, How Many Object Colors Can We Distinguish? We give a reasoning why the previously calculated estimates for the number of discernible colors are valid, apart from the possible deviations caused by uncertainty of JND and non‐uniformity of color space, without correcting them with a coefficient proposed by Kuehni. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
