In this research, computer generated reproductions of colors from a color test chart were analyzed considering type of virtual light, illumination settings, gamma values and background color. In the introduction and theoretical part, a review of relevant research is presented and the importance of testing conditions, 3D illumination and rendering process is explained. In the experimental part, two types of light (standard and photometric) with variations of light intensity were used within mental ray^® settings in 3ds Max software. Gamma values varied from 1.8 to 2.2 and illumination settings were adapted to light type. Background color systematically changed from R = G = B = 0 to R = G = B = 255 with a step of 50 units. The color test chart was reproduced in a simple scene and defined with texture mapping. In the results, optimal conditions for color test chart reproduction within the computer generated scenes are presented and discussed, pointing out some interesting phenomena in deviations of lightness, saturation and hue between the original and the reproduced colors which occur in dependence on simultaneous changes of light intensity, gamma value and background color.
