This section describes some of the color appearance phenomena that color appearance models try to deal with.

====[[Chromatic adaptation]]====

{{main|Chromatic adaptation}}

Chromatic adaptation describes the ability of human color perception to abstract from the [[white point]] (or [[color temperature]]) of the illuminating light source when observing a reflective object. For the human eye, a piece of white paper looks white no matter whether the illumination is blueish or yellowish. This is the most basic and most important of all color appearance phenomena, and therefore a ''[[chromatic adaptation transform]]'' (CAT) that tries to emulate this behavior is a central component of any color appearance model.
