Definition
D65
The relative spectral power distribution S () of CIE standard illuminant D65 is defined by
the values given in table 1 which are presented at 1 nm intervals over the wavelength range
from 300 nm to 830 nm. If required, other intermediate values may be derived by linear
interpolation from the published values*.

Light source colour description
• Colour temperature, Tc
– The temperature of a Planckian radiator
whose radiation has the same chromaticity
as that of a given stimulus.
• Correlated colour temperature Tcp
– The temperature of the Planckian radiator
whose perceived colour most closely
resembles that of a given stimulus at the
same brightness and under specified
viewing conditions.

Colour rendering
• Effect of an illuminant on the colour
appearance of objects by conscious or
subconscious comparison with their colour
appearance under a reference illuminant
Colour rendering index
• Measure of the degree to which the
phsychophysical colour of an object
illuminated by the test illuminant conforms
to that of the same object illuminated by the
reference illuminant, suitable allowance
having been made for the state of chromatic
adaptation.
Colour rendering index
• Comparison of illuminants
– test illuminant
– reference illuminant:
• Planckian if CCT < 5000 K
• Phase of Daylight  5000 K
• Objects illuminated (test colour samples)
• Chromatic adaptation
• Colour difference

• Selecting test colour samples
• Chromatic adaptation (von Kries)
• Colour difference calculation
– U*, V*, W* colour space
Chromatic adaptation

• For colorimetric practice the evaluation of
the UV content also important
• Assessment based on metamerism indices
– 5 metameric pairs
• 3 sets: D55, D65, D75,
• Set for D50 under development

• Visible range metamerism index
– average colour difference for the five
metameric pairs
