dablink This article is about metamerism as it relates to colorimetry . For other meanings see the metamerism disambiguation page. In colorimetry , metamerism is the matching of apparent color of objects with different spectral power distribution s. Colors that match this way are called metamers . A spectral power distribution describes the proportion of total light emitted, transmitted, or reflected by a color sample at every visible wavelength it precisely defines the light from any physical stimulus. However, the human eye contains only three color receptors cone cell s , which means that all colors are reduced to three sensory quantities, called the tristimulus value s. Metamerism occurs because each type of cone responds to the cumulative energy from a broad range of wavelengths, so that different combinations of light across all wavelengths can produce an equivalent receptor response and the same tristimulus values or color sensation.

File Graukarte.svg thumb 18 Gray card File Manweissabgleich.jpg thumb Image before left and after right adjustment with gray card middle A gray card is a middle gray reference, typically used together with a reflective light meter , as a way to produce consistent image exposure photography exposure and or color in film and photography . A gray card is a flat object of a neutral gray color that derives from a flat reflectance spectrum. A typical example is the Kodak R 27 set, which contains two 8x10 cards and one 4x5 card which have 18 reflectance across the visible spectrum, and a white reverse side which has 90 reflectance. Note that flat spectral reflectance is a stronger condition than simply appearing neutral this flatness ensures that the card appears neutral under any illuminant see Metamerism color metamerism . Application A major use of gray cards is to provide a standard reference object for exposure determination in photography. A gray card is an approximate realisation of a Lambertian scatterer its apparent brightness and exposure determination therefore does not depend on its orientation relative to the light source. By placing a gray card in the scene to be photographed, oriented at a defined angle relative to the direction of the incident light, and taking a reading from it with a reflected light meter, the photographer can be assured of consistent exposures across their photographs. This technique is similar to using an incident meter, as it depends on the illuminance but not the reflectivity of the subject. In addition to providing a means for measuring exposure, a gray card provides a convenient reference for white balance, or color balance , allowing the camera to compensate for the illuminant color in a scene. Gray cards can be used for in camera white balance or post processing white balance. Many digital camera s have a custom white balance feature. A photo of the gray card is taken and used to set white balace for a sequence of photos. For post ... more details

Wyszecki, Valenzmetrische Untersuchung des Zusammenhanges zwischen normaler und anomaler Trichromasie, Farbe 2 1953 39 45 ref In 1953 he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship and for a year joined Deane B. Judd at the Colorimetry and Photometry section of the U. S. National Bureau of Standards in Washington DC. Career In 1955 Wyszecki joined the National Research Council of Canada in Ottawa where he became the leader of its Optics Section in 1960 and Assistant Director of the Division of Physics in 1982, and where he remained until his untimely death from leukemia. Wyszecki is best known for his scientific contributions to and leadership in the International Commission on Illumination CIE . He was chairman of its Colorimetry Committee from 1963 to 1975, vice president of the organization from 1979 to 1983 and its president from 1983 until his death. During this period the CIE made many important recommendations in colorimetry, remaining valid today, such as 1 nm tables of the color matching functions of the two CIE standard observers and the standard illuminants A and D65, addition of integrating sphere reflectance factor measurement as a recommended measuring geometry, the 1964 U V W and the 1976 CIELAB and CIELUV uniform color space and color difference formulas, and others.
