[Coding/Determinants] C'F

Aliases

C'F
achromatic color-form
achromatic color with secondary form

Definition

C'F is used when achromatic color dominates the response and form remains secondary. The response depends more on black, white, or gray used as color than on formal organization.

Conditions

The person uses achromatic features as the primary basis of the response.
Some formal support is present, but clearly secondary.
If form carries the main weight, reconsider scoring-input/determinants/FC'.
If no real form support is present, scoring-input/determinants/C' may fit better.

Cautions

C'F is not the same as scoring-input/determinants/CF; both the type of color and the perceptual basis differ.
Saying black, white, or gray does not by itself require C'F.
If the response depends more on distance or relief, review scoring-input/determinants/V.
If the response is mainly indefinite, murky, or diffuse shading, review scoring-input/determinants/Y.
