The “night vision” community has developed and refined a series of test and measure-ment routines for characterization of "green monochrome" tube and system performance. Although these tools could be directly applied to color night vision systems, a detailed re-exami-nation of these techniques in the context of “color” provides a more meaningful metric. The creation of a color contrast measure is proposed as the first step in the development of color night vision specific performance characterization.
