In experiment 1, blue (b) was the rewarded training colour under white illumination (bw). The distance in the colour triangle from bw to the closest colour under the blue illumination is blue-green(bgb). The distance between bw and bb is larger than between bw and bgb. In experiment 2, the training colour was yellow, yw, and under blue illumination lgb is closer to yw than yb. Under the yellow illumination, yw is closest to yy and the second closest is yellow-orange (yoy). In experiment 5, the training colour green was closest to itself under yellow illumination. The closest distance is highlighted in bold.
