A colour matching experiment asks an observer to

  • A.name the hue of a test light presented in isolation
  • B.rank a set of coloured samples in order of preference
  • C.estimate the wavelength of a monochromatic test light
  • D.adjust three primaries until they match a test light

Answer: D

Correct answer: adjust three primaries until they match a test light

The colour matching experiment is a null method: the observer adjusts the amounts of three primaries in one half of a bipartite field until it is indistinguishable from the test light in the other half. It asks for a judgement of identity rather than of appearance, which is what makes the results reproducible enough to build a system on.
