A trichromatic model is proposed of constant pattern of colour perception (MCCP) for scenes with a single illumination source. In MCCP functions of the source emission, surface reflection, photoacceptor sensitivity are approximated by the normal distribution curves. MCCP characteristics "colour tone", "cleanness", and "lightness" organize its output colour metric by the human's pattern, and in a wide range of spectral composition of illumination they are invariant under these changes. Special colorimetric regime of MCCP work which estimates the colour of visual stimulus permits a comparison between the efficiencies of two proposed algorithms of visual information processing for MCCP.
