Precise Color Communication

Tristimulus values determined based on the color matching functions

and

defined in 1931 by CIE; also referred to as 2° XYZ tristimulus values. They are suitable for a viewing angle of 4° or less and are defined for reflecting objects by the following formulas:

where
S(λ): Relative spectral power distribution of the illuminant

: Color-matching functions for CIE 2° Standard Observer (1931)
R(λ): Spectral reflectance of specimen

Tristimulus values determined based on the color matching functions

and

defined in 1964 by CIE; also referred to as 10° XYZ tristimulus values. They are suitable for a viewing angle of more than 4° and are defined for reflecting objects by the following formulas:

where
S(λ): Relative spectral power distribution of the illuminant

: Color-matching functions for CIE 10° Supplementary Standard Observer (1964)
R(λ): Spectral reflectance of specimen
