Method and system of active color cancellation in transition zones of multi-color lighting systems

A lighting system, comprising:

• an array of lights under at least one light guide and wherein each light has an adjustable color;
• a light control communicatively coupled to the array to control the color of the lights;
• and
• processor circuitry forming at least one processor communicatively coupled to the array and arranged to operate the light control by:
• receiving data indicating at least two different base colors to be respectively emitted from base lights on opposite sides of at least one transition light of the light array,
• receiving data of a target color between the two base colors in at least one coordinate dimension on a chromaticity color space chart, wherein the two base colors have an undesired mixed color on a line between the two base colors on the color space chart,
• determining at least one adjustment color on an opposite side of the target color from the mixed color on the color space chart, and
• providing the at least one adjustment color to be emitted from the at least one transition light when the base colors are being respectively and simultaneously emitted from the base lights on opposite sides of the at least one transition light.

A vehicle, comprising:

• a body;
• an array of lights under a light guide and wherein individual lights of the array each have an adjustable color;
• memory;
• and
• processor circuitry forming at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the array, the processor to operate by:
• receiving data indicating at least two different base colors to be respectively emitted from base lights on opposite sides of at least one transition light of the light array,
• receiving data of a target color between the two base colors in at least one coordinate dimension on a chromaticity color space chart, wherein the two base colors have an undesired mixed color on a line between the two base colors on the color space chart,
• determining at least one adjustment color on an opposite side of the target color from the mixed color on the color space chart, and
• providing the at least one adjustment color to be emitted from the at least one transition light when the base colors are being respectively and simultaneously emitted from the base lights on opposite sides of the at least one transition light.
