3、e.INTRODUCTIONThe colors of materials depend on the geometric and spectral nature of the illuminating and viewingconditions. This practice specifies standard conditions for appraising the colors and color differencesof opaque specimens that are diffusely illuminated. Daylight, the natural illuminant

4、, is usually ofprimary interest, but natural daylight is highly variable and is not available at night or in interiorrooms, so simulated daylight is generally used. Colors may match under a light source with onespectral power distribution, but not under another, so the match is usually confirmed und

An incandescent lamp of low correlated color temperature has long been usedto detect mismatches likely to appear under yellower phases of daylight or incandescent light.Industrial color matchers often verify the match with the kind of light likely to be found where t

Significance and Use4.1 Although color measuring instruments are widely used, color matches are usually checked visually. The standardization ofvisual examina

19、tion has greatly improved the uniformity of products and the accuracy of color matches.4.2 The use of this practice is essential for critical color matching but is also recommended for any color appraisal, such as thechoice or approval of a color. This practice is widely used in industry to choose c

20、olors, exhibit colors reproducibly,reproducibility,inspect incoming materials, monitor color producing processes, and inspect finished goods. Visual appraisal is particularlyimportant when the product inspected is not of the same material as the color standard to which it is compared.4.2.1 Observers

21、This practice is based on the fundamental assumption that the observer has normalsuperior color vision andis trained and experienced in observing and classifying color differences. The significance of the results depends on that being so.The selection, evaluation, and training of observers are treat

22、ed in Guide E1499.4.2.2 IlluminationSimulated average daylight daylight, D65, is recommended by the International Commission onIllumination (CIE), but a slightly bluer simulated north-sky daylight came into widespread use in North America, because itprovides a slightly greater distinction between ve

23、ry pale yellow and white, a distinction of great commercial importance.(CIE).D50 is recommended for applications involving color photography or color printing as specified in ISO 3364-2009.5. Observers5.1 The validity of the results obtained by this practice depends on visual judgments by an observe

24、r or observers withnormalhaving superior color vision. Even among normal observers, there may be substantial individual variations. Colorspecifications dependent on this practice may require averaging the results obtained by a specified number of observers. The natureof an observers color vision can

25、 be ascertained by visual tests. Observers should be tested periodically, because an individualscolor vision can change (see Guide E1499).6. Apparatus6.1 The apparatus shall consist of luminaires, luminaires or viewing booth, specimen table, surround, and ambient field havingthe following spectral,

26、photometric, and geometric characteristics:6.1.1 Spectral Power DistributionThe spectral power distribution of the radiant flux incident on the specimens depends notonly on the source used, but on the nature of any diffuser employed and any reflecting surfaces, including those in the ambientfield, t

27、hat reflect flux to the specimens.6.1.1.1 Daylight illumination shall be a spectral simulation of daylight of one or more of the following three kinds: overcastnorthern sky light, designated CIE Illuminant two kinds: D75; average daylight, designated CIE Illuminant D65; or, for applicationsinvolving

28、 color photography or color printing, CIE Illuminant D50. The spectra of these illuminants are specified in Practice E308and CIE Publication 15.2.15:2004.4 The quality of the simulation of daylight shall be assessed by the method specified in the latestrevision of CIE Publication 51ISO/CIE 23603:200

29、5, previously designated as Publication 51.5 (under revision in 1996). For criticalappraisal of colors and color differences, the category determined by that method shall be BC(CIELAB) or better. This ratingensures that the source provides ultraviolet and visible power in the right proportions to ma

30、ke both nonfluorescent and fluorescentmaterials look very nearly the way they would in the corresponding phase of natural daylight. Users of this practice should beaware of the fact that neither correlated color temperature nor chromaticity alone qualifies simulated daylight for this purpose.6.1.1.2

31、 Incandescent illumination shall have the spectral quality of the light from an incandescent lamp commonly used forhome and business lighting, approximately simulating CIE Illuminant A, specified in Practice E308 and ISO/CIE 10526.3 Available from U.S. National Committee of the CIE (International Co

Lemons, TLA-Lighting Consultants, Inc., 7 Pond St.,Salem, MA 01970, http:/www.cie-usnc.org.4 CIE Publication 15.215:2004, Colorimetry, 2nd3rd ed., Central Bureau of the CIE, Vienna, 19862004 (see footnote 3).5 CIE Publication 51, ISO/CIE 23603:2005, A Method

33、for Assessing the Quality of Daylight Simulators for Colorimetry, Central Bureau of the CIE, Vienna, 1981(seefootnote 3).D1729 1626.1.1.3 Incandescent illumination of low correlated color temperature shall have spectral quality similar to that of a Planckianradiator having a color temperature of 230

34、0 K. This source is referred to as “Horizon Daylight” because it simulates the spectraof early morning sunrise and late day sunset. This light is commonly produced by incandescent lamps operated at half their ratedvoltage.66.1.1.4 Fluorescent lamps are often provided. Those most often used are of th

35、e type known as “cool white” approximatelysimulated by simulating CIE Illuminant F2, and the type known as “three-band” approximately simulated by simulating CIEIlluminant F11. F11 and F12. The spectra of these illuminants are specified in Practice E308 and ISO/CIE 10526. Recently, dueto energy legi

36、slation, lamps simulating CIE Illuminant F2 have been limited to smaller sizes as used in specialty applianceapplications.6.1.1.5 One or several of these kinds of illumination, or other kinds, as specified, may be provided in a luminaire or viewingbooth. Provision must be made for selecting any one

37、of the sources independently. The blending of a broadband daylight sourcewith incandescent illumination has shown to be effective in detecting metamerism in some color matching applications.6.1.2 Photometric ConditionsFor critical evaluation of color differences of materials of medium lightness, the

38、 illumination atthe center of the viewed area shall be 1080 to 1340 lx (100 to 125 fc). For general evaluation of materials of medium lightness,the illumination shall be between 810 and 1880 lx (75 and 175 fc). In either case, for viewing very light materials, the illuminationmay be as low as 540 lx

39、 (50 fc), and for viewing very dark materials it may be as high as 2150 lx (200 fc). This higher level ofillumination is usually obtained by holding the specimens nearer the source.6.1.3 Geometric ConditionsThe illumination shall be provided by an extended-area source located above the specimens and

40、shall be sufficiently directional to reveal the texture of specimens. The illuminance shall be uniform over the viewing area, within620 %, with no abrupt changes apparent to the observer.6.1.4 Surround and Ambient FieldThe surround, the portion of the visual field immediately surrounding the specime

41、ns, shallbe the color having the Munsell notation given in Table 1 for the evaluation category involved. The ambient visual field, the fieldof view seen when the observer glances away from the specimens, such as the interior surfaces of a viewing booth or the nearbywalls of a viewing room, shall be

42、the color having the Munsell notation given in Table 1 for the evaluation category involved.6.1.4.1 The gloss of the surround and the ambient field shall be no greater than 15 on the 60 gloss scale described in TestMethod D523.6.1.4.2 When glossy or highly saturated specimens are compared, it is imp

43、ortant to avoid observing light specularly reflectedby them. Black velvet or other matte black material should be placed in the ambient field, so its dark image is reflected by thespecimens.6.2 Availability of Apparatus:6.2.1 Equipment meeting the requirements of this practice is commercially availa

44、ble. The most important requirement, whichis of particular importance for daylight simulators, is the spectral power distribution of the illumination.6.2.2 Commercially available illumination meters may be used to measure the photometric conditions.6.2.3 Paint for the surround and the ambient field

45、may be specified by the Munsell notations given in Table 1.6.2.4 Commercially available spectroradiometers with a measurement range of 300 to 780 nm and having a minimum band-passhalf-width of 5 nm, may be used to measure the spectral power distributions and the CIE method of computation may beaccom

46、plished with a personal computer.6.3 Maintenance of ApparatusLamps and other apparatus must be maintained. At least once during each 100 h of use, checkthe apparatus in the following way:6.3.1 Replace darkened or burned-out lamps in sets and be sure that all lamps are operating.6.3.2 Clean the fixtu

47、res so dust or films deposited from the atmosphere do not alter the spectral power distributions.6.3.3 Measure and record illumination levels.6 The equations describing Planckian radiators and tables of their distributions can be found in Wyszecki, G., and Stiles, W.
