The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum extends from about 380 to 780 nanometers. CIE defines it over 360 to 830 nm. Official (CIE) definition: radiant energy weighted by the photopic luminous efficiency function, V().

Metamers Lights of the same color appearance can be made up of different spectral power distributions as seen in the diagram at the right. Sources with the same color appearance, but different spectral power distributions will render colors differently. Broad spectral power distributions are more likely to produce better color rendering These three spectra can produce the same color perception 26 © 2010 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

CIE colorimetric system Based on color matching – not color perception Principle of univariance › Once a photon is absorbed by a photoreceptor all wavelength information is lost › Photoreceptor response is determined by the number of photons absorbed › Color information is contained in the relative strength of the signals from each type of photoreceptor Matching done under very particular and controlled conditions › 2° observer and 10° observer › Bipartite field Reference Matching field field 28 © 2010 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
