Introduction
For the phenomenon of metamerism of pairs of samples, three different kinds are distinguished:
a) Illuminant metamerism occurs if both of the object colours of a pair of samples are perceived as
being the same only under a specific illuminant (e.g. under illuminant D65), while they differ under
a different illuminant (e.g. illuminant A).
b) Observer metamerism occurs if the object colours of a pair of samples are perceived as being the
same by one observer, while a different observer perceives a colour difference under the same
illuminant and the same reference conditions.
NOTE 1 The observer metamerism is caused by differences between the distributions of spectral colour
matching functions of different observers.
c) Field-size metamerism occurs if both of the object colours of a pair of samples are perceived as
being the same on the retina for a size of an observation field (e.g. defined by the 2° standard
observer), while they differ for a different observation field on the retina (e.g. 10°).
NOTE 2 The reason for field-size metamerism is based on the existent colour matching functions of
an observer during an observation situation. The colour matching functions change with the size of the
observation field on the retina. Such change of the observation field can also occur if, for example, the pair of
samples is examined from different distances.

Analytical colorimetry —
Part 4:
Metamerism index for pairs of samples for change of
illuminant
1 Scope
This document specifies a formalism for the calculation of the illuminant metamerism of solid surface
colours. It cannot be applied to colours of effect coatings without metrical adaptation.
This document only covers the phenomenon of metamerism for change of illuminant, which has the
greatest meaning in practical application. In the case of chromaticity coordinates of a pair of samples
under reference conditions that do not exactly match, recommendations are given on which correction
measures are to be taken. Regarding the reproduction of colours, the metamerism index is used as a
measure of quality in order to specify tolerances for colour differences between a colour sample and a
colour match under different illumination conditions.
The quantification of the illuminant metamerism of pairs of samples is formally performed by a colour
difference assessment, for which tolerances that are common for the evaluation of residual colour
differences can be used.
NOTE In the colorimetric literature and textbooks, the term geometric metamerism is sometimes used for
the case that two colours appear to be the same under a specific geometry for visual assessment and selected
standard observer and standard illuminant pair, but is perceived as two different colours at changed observation
geometry. The term geometric metamerism is different to metamerism described in this document.

NOTE In contrast to non-fluorescent samples, the calculation of metamerism indices for fluorescent samples

8 Metamerism index for change in illuminant
8.1 General calculation methods
According to 3.1, metamerism implies no colour difference under reference illuminant. The colour
difference under test illuminant is used as metamerism index. This index is descripted in Formula (1):

In case of a small colour difference already present under reference illuminant conditions, the colour
difference at change of illuminant is called paramerism. To eliminate the effect of the difference under
reference illuminant a mathematically corrected virtual sample is created having no remaining colour
difference under the reference illuminant
Three different correction methods for calculating a metamerism index in the case of paramerism have
been proposed in References [6] to.[13] All methods assume that, for practical cases, there might be
already a small difference between the colours of the sample and the standard even under the reference
illuminant from the very beginning, due to problems of fabrication. In the case of two methods, called
the additive and the multiplicative correction, these inherent colour differences often merge with the
difference introduced by the change of the illuminant. The third method, the spectral correction, works

more fundamentally by the separation of inherent colour differences under the reference illuminant
from those introduced by the change of the illuminant.
NOTE Annex A includes calculation examples.
8.2 Basic calculation of the metamerism index from colour differences
After this correction (see 8.1) leading to the virtual sample, the common formula for a metamerism
index at change in illuminant, expressed in CIELAB coordinates for the test illuminant (t), is given by
Formula (2):

x nominates the correction method.
The formulae given above are meant as an example if using the CIELAB colour space.
Analogous equations apply for other Euclidian colour spaces such as DIN 99o in DIN 6176. In non-
Euclidian colour spaces such as CIE 94 or CIEDE2000, the specific colour differences are provided
with colour-space dependent weight functions and, in regard to the latter case, are expanded by an
additional rotation term. The CIELAB metric used in the present standard is an example and should be
replaced in practical applications by one of the mentioned more recent metrics (e.g. CIE 94, CIEDE2000,
DIN 99o), which are significantly more uniform than the CIELAB model.
8.3 Correction methods
8.3.1 Additive correction
When using the additive correction, the differences of any colorimetric axis between standard (std)
and sample (spl) under reference conditions (ref), are added to the specific differences between
standard and sample under test conditions (t). The resulting equation for the metamerism index M ,
t
expressed in CIELAB coordinates, is then given by Formula (3):

* * **

ΔL = LL−−ΔL ;

ΔL = LL− .

Analogous relationships apply for Δa and Δb . It should be noted that slightly different results are to
be expected, if the correction is applied to standard tristimulus values prior to transformation into a
uniform colour space such as CIELAB or DIN 99o.

8.3.2 Multiplicative correction
When using the multiplicative correction, which is specified in CIE 015 as correction method, the
standard tristimulus values of the sample (spl), which are observed under test conditions (t) are
multiplied with the quotient of the standard tristimulus values of standard (std) and sample (spl),
which are obtained under reference conditions (ref). The resulting equation is given in Formula (4):

in which case, again, analogous combinations for X and Z apply. Subsequently, a transformation

into a uniform colour space (e.g. CIELAB) takes place and results in Formula (5):

8.3.3 Spectral correction
The spectral method considers that under the reference illuminant, minor differences between the
tristimulus values of the sample and the standard can already exist, which are not relevant for the
metamerism characteristics. In order to first mathematically compensate them and only determine
the effective component for metamerism at change in illuminant of sample pairs with given spectral
reflectance, the possibility is used to mathematically split a spectral reflectance in two additive
components.
One component describes only the function that is effective for the formation of the colour stimulus
under the reference illuminant and the other component describes a function, which does not lead to a
contribution to the colour stimulus when integrating via the stimulus under the reference illuminant.
This function necessarily includes positive and negative components. The colour stimulus function
resulting from the first component of the spectral reflectance under the reference illuminant that is
effective for the formation of the colour stimulus is called fundamental colour stimulus function, the
respective second part of the colour stimulus function leads to a metameric black of the decomposition
(residue), i.e. an invisible contribution with a resulting colour stimulus identical to zero.
The compensation of the deviations of the colour stimuli of a sample from the standard, which are non-
effective for metamerism characteristics, is realized by replacing the fundamental colour stimulus of
the sample by that of the standard. The component that is effective for the metamerism characteristic
is maintained unchanged, i.e. a new colour stimulus function of the sample is generated from the sum
of the replaced fundamental colour stimulus and the unchanged second component. From the sum, the
metamerism at change in illuminant in regard to the standard is determined.
The following mathematical description of the method of spectral correction is not based on a
decomposition of the colour stimulus function into its fundamental colour stimulus function and the
invisible function of the black stimulus. Rather, a decomposition of the spectral reflectance function of
the respective colour into a “fundamental reflectance function” and a “black” component (metameric
black values) of the reflectance function is used. This method is valid under the assumption that these
components only lead to the visually effective fundamental colour stimulus function and the invisible
function of the metameric black values in combination with the distribution function of the reference
illuminant (here D65). Consequently, the distribution function of the reference illuminant is inherently
included in the decomposition of the reflectance functions. In order to highlight this connection, the
