Correction of the pair before computing a metamerism index is necessary because

  • A.the observer must adapt to the reference first
  • B.any residual difference under the reference would inflate the index
  • C.the samples must be physically altered before any measurement
  • D.the reference illuminant is otherwise undefined

Answer: B

Correct answer: any residual difference under the reference would inflate the index

The index is meant to measure how much the match degrades between illuminants, not how good it was to begin with. If the pair does not quite match under the reference, that residual is carried into the test illuminant calculation and counted as metamerism. Correcting the pair to agree under the reference isolates the degradation.
