Metamerism occurs when two colors appear to match under one lighting condition but look different under another. This can create challenges in design, printing, product development and any workflow where accurate color reproduction matters.

Understanding metamerism can help you identify potential color inconsistencies earlier and make more reliable decisions when evaluating, matching or communicating color.
