Abstract
The research reported investigated two aspects of binocular peripheral color vision important to an industrial situation, viz., relative color fields of red, yellow, green, and blue test lights; and false color identification under independent variables of color of background, environmental light, and test position. Four male subjects with a similar peripheral vision field (within ± 2° of one another) were selected for the study. In general, blue and yellow lights used on a gray background with a low level of environmental light gives the best results for the greatest recognition distance of color and the least number of errors made. Subjects displayed large variation, indicating justification for an industrial firm to institute testing procedures to obtain workers that meet specific peripheral color vision requirements.
