Scientists finally complete Schrödinger’s 100-year-old color theory

SMRTR summary

Erwin Schrödinger proposed a mathematical model of color perception in the 1920s, but it had a critical flaw — he never formally defined the neutral gray axis his model depended on. Los Alamos researchers finally closed that gap using geometry, completing his century-old framework and improving how color differences are mathematically measured.
