Relative effect sizes. The y-axis represents the
relative effect size, that is, the hue shift divided by the
difference in saturation. For this, we represented colours in
CIELAB (Figure
2). For each hue type, we determined the Euclidean
distance between the two colour chips selected for each of the
two stimulus sets (coloured dots in Figure 2). Since this
distance represents a discrete difference between two chips we
multiplied that distance with the average number of chips across
observers (Figure 3(d) to (e)). We then determined the distance
between the hues at the two levels of saturation occurring
across the two stimulus sets (distance of the coloured discs to
the less saturated stimuli on the same grey hue line in Figure 2),
and averaged the two distances. The relative effect size is then
the hue difference divided by the average difference in
saturation. A value of 1 indicates that the colour difference
resulting from the effect on hue is as large as the colour
difference due to the manipulation of saturation across stimulus
sets. Apart from that, format is as in Figure 3: (a) category
prototypes and (b) unique hues. Note that many of the observed
colour shifts across stimulus sets involve at least 50% (pink,
red, orange, and blue) of the experimental manipulation of
saturation that caused the effects.
