Robert Hunt , formerly Assistant Director of Research, Kodak Research Laboratories in Harrow, England, is an independent colour consultant and visiting Professor of Colour Science at the University of Derby. He has been Chairman of the Colour Group of Great Britain (1961 63); Chairman of the Colorimetry Committee of the CIE (1975 83); and President of the International Colour Association (1981 85). He has written over a hundred papers on colour, vision, colour reproduction, and colour measurement. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and a member of the Royal Institution where he served as Vice President (1985 87). He has been awarded the Progress Medal of the Royal Photographic Society, the Judd AIC Medal of the International Colour Association, and the Gold Medal of the Institute of Printing.

"Hunt's ability to transmit complex technical information in a communicable, easy reading manner is to be applauded...will make a difference n the careers of scientists, engineers, color developers, and color technologists, who undertake to study and learn from it." (COLOR research and application, December 2005) "...a standard...[that] is widely used in research, teaching, and lecturing." (CHOICE, July 2005)
