Simultaneous color contrast (SCC) may be investigated using colored papers and liquid-crystal displays (LCDs), as well as the two-rooms technique. In a previous study, we found that SCC effects varied when different techniques were used. The strongest effects were obtained using the two-rooms technique, and the weakest when colored papers were used. However, the results of such studies may be affected by stimulus conditions such as size, chromaticity, and luminance. In the present study, we investigated the effects of different display techniques on SCC by employing paper, LCD, and two-rooms techniques under controlled conditions, including the presence or absence of objects in the experimental space. Four carefully controlled color stimuli were used. The chromaticity, luminance, chroma, and size of these stimuli remained constant, regardless of the display techniques used. The elementary color-naming method was used to judge the color appearance of SCC. The results suggested that the SCC effect is device-dependent, and that any differences in the effect depend upon on the causal mechanism involved. When paper or LCD techniques are used, the SCC effect is caused by contrast induction from the surrounding colors; when the two-rooms technique is employed, the SCC is caused by chromatic adaptation and contrast induction at the same time.
