Itten Color Contrasts Evidence Registry v1
Evidence registry
Ratings use A (convergent standards/reviews and replicated foundations), B (credible convergent evidence with material boundaries), C (limited/direct study or indirect transfer), and D (hypothesis/history only).

| EV-ITTEN-019 | Tatler et al., DOI 10.1167/11.5.5 | task and scene meaning constrain eye guidance | A | framework/review; no universal composition score |
| EV-ITTEN-020 | Hathibelagal, DOI 10.1371/journal.pone.0290782 | contradicts global “more saturation fixes CVD” | C | small sample; some pairs improved |
| EV-ITTEN-021 | Kugler et al., DOI 10.3389/fnhum.2015.00680 | CVD impairs peripheral search guidance more than foveal verification | B | naturalistic but specific red-on-green task |
