Many experiments in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience require precise control of visual stimuli properties, either to precise manipulate variables of interest or to avoid experimental confounds. One way to control low-level properties of images is to use the SHINE toolbox (Willenbockel et al., 2010), which has been used and cited hundreds of times across a wide range of research topics. Here we describe an adaptation of the SHINE toolbox for controlling low-level properties of colorful images, dubbed SHINE_color.
