The impact of display saturation on visual search performance in congenital colour vision deficiency.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colour-related search tasks are common in many professional fields. The study investigated whether increasing chromatic saturation can enhance the visual performance of individuals with colour vision deficiency (CVD) in colour-related search tasks.

Methods

10 normal trichromats (5M, 5F; Mean (SD) age: 23.1 (3.3) years) and 15 individuals with CVD [8 deutans and 7 protans identified by HRR plates] (14M, 1F; aged 28.6 (8.7) years) participated in this study. Four naturalistic sceneries of everyday tasks/ birds, animals and flowers of 15 different colour combinations (1 pair of colours in each combination. e.g., 'brown/black' or 'red/green') were presented in 'low' saturation, 'original' (unaltered images) and 'high' saturation condition using the Psychopy program on
