Analytical colorimetry - Part 4: Metamerism index for pairs of samples for change of illuminant (ISO 18314-4:2020)
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.
Analytische Farbmessung - Teil 4: Metamerie-Index von Probenpaaren bei Lichtartwechsel (ISO 18314-4:2020)
Dieses Dokument legt einen Formalismus zur Berechnung der Lichtart-Metamerie von Uni-Farben fest. Dieser kann ohne Anpassungen in der Metrik nicht auf Effektfarben von Überzügen bzw. Beschichtungen angewendet werden.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nur das Phänomen der Metamerie bei Lichtartwechsel, das in der praktischen Anwendung die größte Bedeutung hat. Für den Fall, dass die Farborte eines Probenpaares unter Referenzbedingungen nicht exakt übereinstimmen, werden Empfehlungen gegeben, welche Korrekturmaßnahmen zu ergreifen sind. Bei der Reproduktion von Farben wird der Metamerie-Index als Qualitätsmaß verwendet, um Toleranzen für Farbunterschiede zwischen einer Farbvorlage und einer Farbnachstellung bei unterschiedlichen Beleuchtungsbedingungen festzulegen.
Die Quantifizierung der Lichtart-Metamerie von Probenpaaren wird formal auf eine Farbabstandsbewertung zurückgeführt, bei der Toleranzen herangezogen werden können, die bei der Bewertung reiner Restfarbabstände üblich sind.
ANMERKUNG In der Farbliteratur und Fachbüchern wird manchmal auch der Begriff der Geometrischen Metamerie für den Fall verwendet, dass zwei Farben unter einer bestimmten Beobachtungsgeometrie und einer gewählten Kombination aus Normalbeobachter und Lichtart gleich erscheinen, aber bei veränderter Beobachtungsgeometrie als zwei verschiedene Farben wahrgenommen werden. Der Begriff Geometrische Metamerie unterscheidet sich von der in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Metamerie.
Analyse colorimétrique - Partie 4: Indice de metamérisme de paires d'échantillon pour changement d'illuminant (ISO 18314-4:2020)
Le présent document spécifie un formalisme pour le calcul du métamérisme de l’illuminant de couleurs de surfaces solides. Il ne s’applique pas à des couleurs de revêtements à effets sans adaptation métrique.
Le présent document ne couvre que le phénomène de métamérisme pour changement d’illuminant, qui a la plus grande signification dans l’application pratique. Dans le cas de coordonnées de chromaticité d’une paire d’échantillons dans des conditions de référence qui ne correspondent pas exactement, des recommandations sont données sur les mesures de correction à prendre. En ce qui concerne la reproduction de couleurs, l’indice de métamérisme est utilisé comme mesure de qualité, de manière à spécifier des tolérances pour les écarts de couleurs entre un échantillon de couleurs et un appariement des couleurs dans différentes conditions d’éclairage.
La quantification du métamérisme de l’illuminant de paires d’échantillons est formellement réalisée par une évaluation de l’écart de couleurs, pour laquelle des tolérances communes à l'évaluation d’écarts résiduels de couleurs peuvent être utilisées.
NOTE Dans la littérature et les manuels relatifs à la colorimétrie, le terme métamérisme géométrique est parfois utilisé dans le cas où deux couleurs semblent être identiques sous une géométrie spécifique pour l’évaluation visuelle et l’observateur de référence sélectionné et la paire d’illuminants normalisés, mais sont perçues comme deux couleurs différentes lorsque la géométrie d’observation est changée. Le terme métamérisme géométrique est différent du métamérisme décrit dans le présent document.

ISO 18314-4:2020(E)
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.
