Abstract Volunteers manipulated colourless objects in a testing chamber in which the hue, saturation and apparent angle of the surfaces could be varied. After an exposure period averaging 1h, the volunteers were subjected to psychological and physiological tests. Under the conditions of the experiment, he had no effect on performance or fatigue at a given level of saturation. Saturations of 40-60 times the threshold intensity and angles of 50-70° gave optimal performance and/or minimal fatigue; values above or below these ranges were less favourable.
