The test colors misnamed were grouped into two in their collation, i.e., R-G and BG-RP. Isochromatic collation was found in 75% of the subjects with normal color vision, 38.3% of those with protanopia, and 33% of those with deutanopia. In the hue collation isochromatic collation was seen most frequently, followed by neighborhood color collation. The more the misnomers, the further separated the hue collation, then the misnaming territory enlarged crossing over the achromatic confusion line, and the collation territory enlarged. The lightness collation was about equal between subjects with abnormal color vision and normal subjects. The former were inferior to the latter by 2% (deutan) and 4% (protan) in isosaturation collation. When the misnomer crossed the isochromatic line or collated near the white point, the date were analysed according to the color cunfusion theory. The subjects with abnormal color vision showed hue collation inferior to that of normal subjects, but they responded with twice the accuracy in the isochromatic collation than the misnomer collation, and the collation territory was narrow and simple.
