First appearance of Schrödinger's important three-paper series of a theory of colour measurement for daylight vision.

"His first papers on relativity pointed to a second major field of interest. In addition to these works, and his early papers on relativity, Schrödinger made a detailed study, through both measurement and computation, of the metric of color space and the theory of color vision." (DSB).
