Source: Torgerson (1958)
Description: "Absolute distances" based on 84 judgments of closeness
for all possible triads of nine colors. The colors were all of the
same red hue (= 5R in Munsell notation) but differed from each other
in brightness (value) and saturation (chroma). The conversion of the
triadic closeness judgments into the values in the table involved a
series of conversions aimed at adding the best additive constant.
The colors had the following values of brightnes (Value) and
saturation (Chroma):
No. Value Chroma
1 7 4
2 6 6
3 6 10
4 5 4
5 5 8
