Recommendations for Specifying Color Properties of Light Sources for Retail Merchandising

This volume of ASSIST recommends describes the two most common metrics used in the lighting industry to define light source color properties: correlated color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (CRI). This volume focuses on applying these color metrics in retail merchandising applications.This issue recommends two-metric approaches for specifying light sources to achieve desired color appearance and good color rendering in retail applications.
