For photoluminescent specimens, the spectral distribution should be reported in termsof its conformance to a standard illuminant as outlined in CIE Publication 51 and Practice E991. For non-photoluminescentspecimens, the spectral distribution illuminating the specimen can
38、 be reported in terms of its conformance to a standard illuminantor its correlated color temperature.Metadata for Color or Color Difference Measurement of SpecimensFIG. 1 Sample Report FormE805 12a36.3.2 In the absence of a detailed spectral power distribution as in 6.3.1, identify illumination with

Therefore, report all data with the appropriate number of significantfigures.8.3 Some specimens (particularly textiles, pulp and paper) are sensitive to variations in temperature (thermochromism) andhumidity (hygro
44、chromism). In those cases, these conditions should be recorded.8.4 In addition, some colorants exhibit reversible color changes (photochromism) upon exposure to strong sources ofillumination. In those cases, when using instruments with direct illumination by strong broad-band sources, the time of ex

Color Scales9.1 IlluminantFor non-photoluminescent specimens, the illuminant used in the computation of color coordinates from spectraldata may have a different spectral power distribution from that o
46、f the instrument source (see 6.2.4), the former being normally oneof the CIE illuminants (A, C,orD65) identified in Table 1.1.1 of Ref (1) and in Practice E308. In the case of photoluminescentspecimens being measured on instruments with polychromatic illumination and a dispersing element between the
47、 specimen anddetector, the spectral distribution of the illuminant used for the computation of color coordinates from spectral data shall be thesame as that of the instrument illuminator.9.2 Standard ObserverIdentify Standard Observer as CIE 1931 (2) or CIE 1964 (10).
