Abstract— A dynamic adaptation model (DAM), based on the variations in the luminance levels under the same chromaticity viewing conditions and equal‐whiteness correlated‐color‐temperature (CCT) curves (EWCCs) derived by using the proposed DAM, is proposed. The proposed model was obtained by the transformation of the test colors for high luminance into the corresponding colors for low luminance. In the proposed model, the optimal coefficients are obtained from the corresponding color data from Breneman's experiments. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that the chromaticity errors between the predicted colors by the proposed model and the corresponding colors of Breneman's experiments are 0.004 in u′v′ chromaticity coordinates. The prediction performance of the proposed model is excellent because this error is the threshold value that distinguishes two adjacent color patches. Equal‐whiteness CCT curves (EWCs) are also proposed using the proposed DAM. By using the proposed EWCCs, an analysis of the difference between the selected video‐display‐unit reference‐white CCT values can be made. Additionally, the proposed EWCCs can be used as the theoretical standard which determines the reference white of the color video display units.
