A tritan Waldo would be easier to detect in the periphery than a red/green one: evidence from visual search

In a color naming task from 0° to 55° eccentricity, we found that red/green performance (n=10 subjects) declines around 40° eccentricity, 5° earlier than does tritan performance (main effect of color, p=0.009; eccentricity, p
