RFR-CD3E5789 — Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold: Johannes Itten Revisited — Seven Color Contrasts Through Modern Vision Science

Research opportunity

Create a shared benchmark and decision threshold for the claims or recommendations in “Johannes Itten Revisited — Seven Color Contrasts Through Modern Vision Science.”

Background

The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “active-research-package.” Its Cross-model synthesis section provides the immediate evidence boundary.

Evidence trace

  • Origin document: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/research-execution-package/REP_Visual_Engineering_Johannes_Itten_Modern_Color_Theory.md
  • Section: Cross-model synthesis
  • Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Cross-model synthesis” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
  • Supporting evidence excerpt: “Model/family What it explains What it does not license --- --- --- Opponent processing post-cone chromatic coding, detection, adaptation relations a universal artist’s complement wheel or harmony Retinex / constancy accounts relational lightness/color under illumination exact appearance for every spatial display CIELA…”
  • Reason this opportunity exists: How competing methods or implementations compare on a common corpus with explicit utility, safety, and cost thresholds.

Unknowns

  • How competing methods or implementations compare on a common corpus with explicit utility, safety, and cost thresholds.

Dependencies

Suggested REP and methodology

  • Suggested REP: REP-REP-VE-ITTEN-001-BENCHMARK
  • Methodology: Curate representative cases, blind ground truth where possible, define baselines and uncertainty-aware metrics, and run reproducible benchmark evaluations.
  • Expected outputs: Versioned benchmark, baseline implementations, scoring harness, datasheet, and adoption decision rule.
  • Success criteria: Independent teams can reproduce scores and the benchmark discriminates meaningful quality differences without rewarding proxy gaming.
  • Recommended agent: research-engineering-agent
  • Estimated effort: Medium
  • Expected knowledge gained: How competing methods or implementations compare on a common corpus with explicit utility, safety, and cost thresholds.
