Etymology

From iso- + luminant.

Meanings

1. Equally luminant.
   • An isoluminant chromatic display is a color display in which the component colors have been so carefully equated in luminance that they stimulate only color-sensitive perceptual mechanisms and not luminance-sensitive mechanisms. 1999, Zhong-Lin Lu et al., “The mechanism of isoluminant chromatic motion perception”, in (Please provide the book title or journal name):
   • When visual fields are isoluminant, they look the same to our luminance processing pathway, while potentially looking quite different to the color processing path. This creates a perceptual tension exploited by skilled artists. 2005, Luong et al., “Isoluminant Color Picking for Non-Photorealistic Rendering”, in (Please provide the book title or journal name):
