In this chapter, I review the relevant literature. Since the work presented in this dissertation draws upon a variety of disciplines (artificial intelligence, computer vision, psychology, psychophysics, biophysics, neurophysiology, anthropological linguistics, and philosophy), it is impossible to exhaustively review the color-related literature in all of them. I have therefore limited myself to a discussion of the literature that I consider most pertinent to the topic of my dissertation, and I do not claim exhaustiveness or suitability for any other purpose.
