The document summarizes a subjective study that assessed how color information influences human visual quality judgments of compressed high-resolution images. Test subjects rated the quality of original images and their compressed versions, either as color images or with just luminance. Results showed a relevant difference in perceived quality between the two conditions, with luminance-only ratings being more optimistic. This suggests objective quality metrics should account for color to better correlate with subjective human judgments. The study provides evidence that color information is important for visual quality assessment.
