Grassmann's laws describe empirical results about how the perception of mixtures of colored lights composed of different spectral power distributions can be algebraically related to one another in a color matching context. Discovered by Hermann Grassmann these "laws" are actually principles used to predict color match responses to a good approximation under photopic and mesopic vision. A number of studies have examined how and why they provide poor predictions under specific conditions.
