Abstract
General anaglyphs may be rendered using multiple primary colors to display the first and second images of stereoscopic images. De-saturated primary colors are advantageous for rendering anaglyphs in six, five, four, and three primary colors. A white primary color is advantageous for displaying a monochrome second image with a color first image. General anaglyphs may be dynamically created by a display apparatus using certain transformations and communication with external sources. Colored viewing filters with de-saturated transmission spectra provide better color when viewing anaglyph images.

- the spectrum of the green primary color substantially between the first component S1 and the second component S2,
- the combined spectra of first S1 and second S2 components comprising a de-saturated color;
- display the first image in primary colors P1, . . . , Pm;
- and
- display the second image in de-saturated primary color Q1.
An apparatus for displaying an anaglyph stereoscopic image, the stereoscopic image comprising a first image and a second image,
