1. A method for generating a color sequence for a sequential color display system, the method comprising: generating a color signal from an image to be displayed, wherein the color signal contains light intensity information; computing percentages of the color sequence to be allocated to each color in a set of colors used in the sequential color display system, wherein the computing is based on light intensity information used to display the image; allocating display times of the color sequence based on the computed percentages; and displaying the image using the color sequence.
