colorimetry
Colorimetry is the science of the measurement of colour, replacing subjective responses of colours with an objective numerical system. It plays an important role in all areas where colour generation, rendition and perception are involved. Perception of the colour of an object is governed by three factors: the nature of the illumination, the optical properties of the object itself and the response of the human eye.
