Abstract
To derive the fundamental response curves for the three colour mediating systems from the location of the dichromatic confusion centres, one must make certain assumptions on the nature of dichromatism. It is shown, however, that one can avoid to make specific quantitative assumptions by bringing into the picture other visual data, such as the huestable wavelengths of the Bezold-Brücke effect and the Weber-fractions for the three separate systems. Then, an almost unique choice can be made about the set of primaries. Moreover, it can be derived that protanopia and deuteranopia have to be characterized by complete absence of the R-resp. the G-system. Finally some relations are derived between the visual constants involved
