I probably misunderstood metamerism when I first read about it ... Getting a
match under anything other than "white light" doesn't seem to be to useful
to me. -jeff
Metamerism refers to the situation where two colour samples appear to match
under one condition but not under another; the match is said to be
conditional. Metamersim is usually discussed in terms of two illuminants
(illuminant metamerism) whereby two samples may match under one illuminant
but not under another. Other types of metamerism include geometrical
metamerism and observer metamerism. Two samples that conditionally match are
said to be a metameric pair. If two samples have identical reflectance
spectra then they cannot be metameric - they are an unconditional match.
