What Color is White Solid-State Lighting?
The method for describing and quantifying the color of white lighting has always been insufficient. Metrics such as color temperature and color rendition never quite satisfied designers or specifiers of legacy sources using filaments, phosphors and gaseous excitation. The practical result is that it can be nearly impossible to find different sources in a lighting design that truly match color. The myriad of possibilities and pitfalls for white lighting offered by emerging solid-state technology demands a new vocabulary of descriptive terms, redress of manufacturing protocols, creation of new test metrics and rebuilding of specification standards. This panel will address these issues from the viewpoint of product developers, marketers, lighting designers and visual researchers. The presentation will review the roots and limitations of current methods, the opportunities for building new standards and market pressures that impede their adoption. The panelists intend for this presentation to push the industry into changing how it answers the basic question: What Color is White solid-state Lighting?
Learning Objectives1. Understand the deficiencies in current metrics as a means to describe, test and
communicate the color of white solid-state lighting, including Correlated Color Temperature, Color Rendering Index, LM-79 and MacAdam Ellipses.
2. Understand the use of color metrics to quantify color similarities and differences, and how to specify different lighting products in a single room and get them all to match.
3. Understand the importance of manufacturing quality and testing methods in the development of products that can be reliably specified to produce a specific color performance
4. Develop an appreciation for the effect of lighting color on human visual performance and physical health.
5. Understand the attributes of hue, value and saturation that must be considered in order to formulate an effective color metric.

• Duv adds a second dimension to better convey appearance
• Iso-CCT lines shown are ± 0.02 Duv
• Typical limits for white light are -0.006 to 0.006 (but depends on CCT)
Flies in the Color Ointment• Illuminance adaptation
(Hunt Effect)• Chromatic adaptation• And a million other
perceptual quandaries…
Consistent chromaticityWhen does consistent chromaticity
between multiple light sources really matter?• When objects and surfaces are
white or light in color• When they are viewed side-by-side• When the scene is not complex or
the light source spills beyond the frame
• When the application is color-critical
Color RenderingColor Rendering Index (CRI, Ra)
R9IES TM-30-2015 Color Metrics
Color Rendering Index (CRI) Ra• Intended to be a fidelity metric
• Reference is blackbody radiation (< 5000 K) or a representation of daylight (> 5000 K) at same CCT as test illuminant. “Reference” does not mean “ideal” illuminant.
• Compares chromaticity of eight (pastel) test color samples under test illuminant to reference illuminant
• Averages (and scales) differences of each sample to result in single number
• Maximum score of 100 if all samples match exactly• CRI is part of a larger system that includes 14 (now
15) total samples• Applicable to sources near blackbody locus
Because color space is skewed at red…R9=0+ is Good; R9=50+ is Very Good; R9=75+ is Excellent [Equivalent R9 CRI = 100 – (100-R9)/4 ]
Special Color Rendering Index R9• Same calculation method as CRI (Ra)• Saturated red• Red is particularly important for human skin complexion• Often considered a valuable supplement to CRI (Ra)
• Can be gamed by manufacturers to get higher scores• Doesn’t communicate color saturation • Does not work well for very discrete SPDs (i.e., RGB LED)• Red colors seem to get short-changed
Limitations of CRI
IES TM-30-2015 Color Rendering Metrics
• TM-30 two-metric system (fidelity [Rf] and gamut [Rg])
• Rf quantifies average color rendition of 99 color evaluation samples (CES) selected to represent real objects uniformly distributed in color space, still related to the reference source
• Rf ranges from 0 to 100• Rg quantifies the average increase or
decrease of color saturation. 100 means identical saturation to reference. Can range above and below 100.
TM-30-2015 Color Rendering Metrics• TM-30 two-metric system
(fidelity [Rf] and gamut [Rg]).
• Harder to game. • Rf and Rg are still averages. • Spreadsheet tool offers
information and graphics on specific colors and hue bins.

Conclusions + Notes It is important to understand the limitations/intended use of the various
color metrics. Learn to use standard color photometry and tools to calculate a large
range of metrics. Even if light sources match when new, they may shift apart over time. Metrics get you in the ballpark, but if you are a designer, you must
evaluate color with your own eyes.

Recommendations for Achieving Lit Spaces Lit with Consistent Color
Initial Color Consistency (LM-79) ≤ 1x2 SDCM or mDuv ≤ +/- 1 and CCT variation ≤ +/- 50K
Maintained Color Consistency – Ask for LM-80 data represented in CCT and Duv Ask for worst case conditions Ask for largest shifters (B0) – not averages!
Light Source Manufacturer Measurement Consistency ≤ +/-20K (CCT) and ≤ +/-0.5 mduv
Test 80 and 95CRI parts of same CCT from same manufacturer to validate their testing capability on a white wall (color matching functions)

CCT Matched Value Color Metric Two sources with identical represented
performance do not appear the same Without any center anchor point for
comparisons, there is no way to determine if products from disparate providers will appear the same
Averaged color performance conceals color distortion within spectral output
Color Distortion Accepted We all know incandescent distorts color, yet
accept it as having a high color rendering value Daylight is assumed to be a singular color, and
assign it as perfect in color performance
What would happen if we used a central neutral white (5K?) to compare EVERYTHING to?
