Abstract :
In most of occasions the maps, drawings and printed images are elaborated thinking that the observer will visualize them with illuminants like the light of the day. With these illuminants, for example the CIE D65, we can distinguish the great quantity of colors that it is capable the human eye. But if the illuminant has a very different spectrum than the light of day, for example the light of acetylene, the number of colors that we are able to distinguish can decrease drastically.
