Abstract

Colour rendering indices are regarded as characteristics of a light source. The paper shows that the environment, where the lamp is used, has a major impact on the observed colour rendering. It is suggested that in selecting a light source for an environment the characteristics of the wall paint should be considered and selected accordingly. It is possible to achieve a higher average colour rendering index, as determined for the lamp alone if the source and paint are properly selected.
