SUMMARY
Method of Measuring and Specifying Colour Rendering Properties of Light Sources
The CIE recommended in 1965 the procedure of measuring and specifying colour rendering properties
of light sources, based on a test colour sample method. This method was updated in i974 taking the
chromatic adaptation shift into account. During the past 20 years several misprints were observed and
corrected reprints were published from time to time. CIE 13.3 - 1995 is the corrected version of 13.2 -
1974 that has been brought up to date to present spectroradiometric and calculation practice. The
technical recommendations have not been changed,
Two computer programs to calculate the CIE colour rendering indices according to the present
publication are available for “DOS-computers to be run in a DOS or in an “MS-WINDOWS
environment as CIE D008.
This Technical Report establishes the CIE recommended method of measuring and specifying colour
rendering properties of light sources based on resultant colour shifts of test objects, referred to as the
“Test-colour Method”. It is the fundamental method for appraisal of colour rendering properties of light
sources, and is recommended for type testing as well as for testing individual lamps.
This specification applies to most general purpose illuminants (e.g. tungsten filament lamps, tubular
Ruorescent lamps, and all other kinds of gaseous discharge electrical lamps except sources of

m
predominantly monochromatic radiation such as low pressure sodium, etc.). This method may also be
applied to modified daylight.

co
The rating consists of a General Colour Rendering Index which may be supplemented by a set of
Special Colour Rendering Indices The derivation of the Special Colour Rendering Indices is based on
p.
a general comparison of the length of colour difference vectors in the CIE 1964 Uniform Space.
To apply the recommended Test-Colour Method the resultant colour shifts for suitably chosen test-
ou

colour samples must be calculated. A set of eight test-colour samples is specified by their spectral
radiance factors for calculating the General Colour Rendering Index. These samples cover the hue
gr

circle, are moderate in saturation, and are approximately the same in lightness. Data for six additional
test-colour samples representing a strong red, yellow, green and blue as well as representing
un

complexion and foliage colours are also supplied. From the colour shifts Colour Rendering Indices may
be found.

w

mise à jour en A974, en tenant compte de la distorsion de couleur pour l’adaptation. Pendant les
dernières 20 années, plusieurs fautes d’impression ont été observées, et des reproductions corrigées
ont été publiées de temps en temps. CIE 13.3-1995 est la version corrigée de 13.2-1974, qui a été
mise à jour pour tenir compte de la pratique actuelle de spectroradiométrie et de calculation. Les
recommendations techniques n’ont pas été changées.
Deux programmes d‘ordinateur (CIE 0008) pour calculer les indices de rendu des couleurs CIE
conformément à la publication présente sont disponibles pour utilisation sur ordinateurs ”DOS” sous
DOS OU “MS-WINDOWS”.
Ce rapport technique décrit ia méthode recommandée par la CIE pour mesurer et spécifier les qualités
de rendu des couleurs des sources de lumière. Elle est basée sur les distorsions totales de la couleur
des objets-tests, et est appelée en abrégé “Méthode des couleurs-tests“. Cette méthode est la
méthode fondamentale pour l’appréciation des qualités de rendu des couleurs des sources de lumiere,
elle est recommandée aussi bien pour l’étude d‘un type de lampe, que pour l’examen d’une lampe
particulière.
Cette recommendation s’applique aux sources de lumiere d’emploi général (P.e., lampes a filament de
tungstène, lampes fluorescentes tubulaires, aussi bien qu’aux autres sortes de lampes étectriques à
décharge dans les gaz, excepté les sources de rayonnement essentiellement monochromatique, telles
que les lampes à vapeur de sodium basse pression, etc.). Elle s’applique également à la lumière du
jour modifiée artificiellement.

II est recommandé d'évaluer au moyen d'un Indice Général de Rendu des Couleurs complété par un
groupe d'Indices Particuliers de Rendu des Couleurs. La détermination des Indices Particuliers de
Rendu des Couleurs repose sur la comparaison des longueurs des droites représentant les différences
de couleur dans l'Espace Chromatique Uniforme CIE 1964.
Pour appliquer la méthode des couleurs-tests, on doit calculer les distorsions totales de la couleur de
couleurs-tests convenablement choisis. Un groupe de huit couleurs-tests est spécifié par les facteurs
spectraux de fuminance énergétique pour calculer l'Indice Général de Rendu des Couleurs. Ces
valeurs comprennent une série de teintes de saturation modérée se rangeant en cercle et ayant
approximativement la même clarté. Les valeurs pour d'autres échantillons de couleurs-tests
correspondant à un rouge, jaune, vert et bleu saturés, ainsi qu'à la couleur du teint et celle du feuillage,
sont également données. Les indices de Rendu des Couleurs sont obtenus à partir des distorsions
totales de la couleur.

CIE 13.3 -1995

1. INTRODUCTION
The CIE recommended in 1948 an eight band method to calculate the colour rendering of light
sources [i]. In 1951 the CIE requested National Committees (NCs) to further investigate the
question of colour rendering of light sources [2] and established a Technical Committee (TC) for
this purpose in 1955 [3].
The scope of this Committee was [4]:
"To establish methods of measuring and spec@ing ihe colour rendering and colour
matching propetties of light sources".
It also considered that the desired method should be one broad enough to deal with all light
sources of whatever design, and that the method should not be restricted as to purpose.
In order to achieve the above aims the following working program was agreed on:
f . To clarify and define the terminology of "Colour Rendering of Light Sources" in
relation to all aspects of "colour rendering".
2. To establish methods of measuring and speciljling the colour rendering of light
sourcesl taking into account proposed and applied methods of measuring and
specifying the colour rendering of light sources as well as the requirements for

m
practical methods of specification in lighting practice, especially all related work of
National Commjttees.

co
2.1. To derive an abbreviated method for the estimation of colour rendetingl
involving the CIE spectral band method provisionally recommended in 1948; to find
p.
the range of validity ofsuch rneîhod.
ou
2.2. To derive methods of measuring and specifying the colour mndering of light
sounes based on colour shift of a group of test objects (surfaces)l involving fhe
denvation of a single-number approximate colour rendering rating of the light s o m e
gr

to be tested, supplemented by a more rigorous multi-number rating ancl/or Vpe of

graphical representation.
un

2.3. To derive further meíhods if there is any necessity.

2.4. To establish, W possible, toiemnces, for light sources with regad to coiour
is

rendering.
.L

The committee published an interim report on terminology in 1964 151, and decided that ultimately
only one method will be recommended for specifying colour rendering [4,6]. To achieve this goal
w

the TC requested NCs to experiment both with the spectral band method and with the colour shif&
w

method. Such experiments have shown [7] that the spectral band method does not work very well
with "de Luxe" type fluorescent lamps, but the test colour method gave results in good agreement
w

with visual appraisal.

Based on the work of D. NICKERSON [8], W. MONCHand K. SCHULTZ[9]as well as of i.HENNICKE[
1 O] the committee decided to use only eight test colour samples. The following Munsell samples
were selected:

7,5 R 614 5 YR a14

5 Y 614 5 GY 414
5 GY 618 5 Y 8/10
2,5 G 616 4,5 G518

CIE 13.3 95 m 900b145 0000069 4T3

CIE 13.3 -1995

The Committee stressed their opinion at their meeting at Evian in 1962:

a) that there is no need to include in the specflcation any reference illuminant
realisable in practice;
b) that one should take into account the effect of chromatic adaptation choosing the
best way to do it;
c) to evaluate the colour shiR in a system, which allows for considerafion of
lightness shiR also;
d) that it is very convenient to have a single rating figure (general colour rendering
index) but that more atfention should be paid to the special colour rendering indices
thus supplementing the information given by the general colour mndenng index;
e) that it should be suggested to abandon a graphic representation for the first time.
Based on above considerations the Committee submitted a draft recommendation at its meeting in
Vienna 161, noting that a more rigorous treatment of chromatic adaptation as well as colour
differences would be needed to be able to consider wider colour differences between the lamp to
be tested and the reference illuminant.
The fist edition of the CIE recommended method of measuring and specifying colour rendering

m
properties of light sources, based on a fest colour sample method was published in 1965 [ i 11 as
CIE 13-1965.

co
In 1967 the Committee was entrusted 1121 to prepare a second edition of publication 13, mainly to
include a correction for the adaptive colour shift. This work was based on the experiments by
p.
OUWELTJES [13], and MUNCHand SCHULTZ[14], and was done by applying a VON KRIEStype
transformation with a reference stimulus given by JUDO [15]. It was pointed out that even this
ou

corrected form of colour rendering calculation was applicable only when the colour difference
between the test and the reference lamp was not too large.
gr

The Committee agreed in 1970 that the chromaticity of the illuminant to be tested should be
transformed to that of the reference illuminant. This involves a small step transformation which will
un

be less sensitive to small variations in the reference stimuli and to the actual precision of the
transformation than a large step transformation would be.
is

l h e basis of assessment for the Colour Rendering Index is now the resultant colour shift after
chromatic adaptation has been accounted for by the adaptive colour shift.
.L

The indices are calculated threedimensionally. This provides a common basis for both the
w

General and Special Colour Rendering Indices.

w

Comments regarding the meaning of the Colour Rendehg Indices were added, dealing with the
uncertainties in the determination of R, influences of test conditions, just perceptible differences in
w

terms of R and interchangeability of lamps with regard to their colour rendering properties.
Also a footnote regarding Tc was added. This footnote concerns the definition of Tc given in the
International Lighting Vocabulary [l61.
Moreover, the Committee stated that it was desirable to obtain an improved method for allowing for
chromatic adaptation which could apply to illuminants having large chromaticity differences
between them, but this would necessitate more knowledge about chromatic adaptation. The
method was improved substantially by using the suggested small step transformation as it reduced
the dependence of the Colour Rendering Index on the temperature scale of the reference
illurninants.
Some further amendments compared to CIE 13-1965 were also undertaken, bringing the
document in line with CIE'Sfundamental publication on colour [17].
The 2nd edition of CIE 13 was published in 1974 [18]. This publication contained a large number
of tables that helped in using the method when doing the calculation on paper. Unfortunately some
misprints both in the text, the equations and the tables were observed after printing was
completed, resulting in several corrections published during the years, leading up to a "Corrected
Reprint 1993" with Revisionl, May 1994.

The terminology also changed during the 20 years since publication of CIE 13.2. It therefore
became necessary to publish a new edition, which does not change the calculation method. As
this edition has the status of a "Technical Report" and not of a "Recommendation" or "Standard" it
is printed only in one language (English) and contains only those tables that are necessary to
perform the calculations using modern computer techniques (Le. tables containing derived data
form other tables have been omitted).
The CIE Central Bureau provides also two application software programs programs on a disk:
CIE13-3D.EXE is a program that calculates the special d o u r rendering indices and the
general colour rendering index on an IBM PC or compatible running under DOS 3.2 or higher.
CIE13-3W.EXE is a modification of the above program to be run on an IBM PC 386 or
486 or compatible under MS-WINDOWS 3.1.
Using one of these programs the calculation method described in the publication can be fully
implemented.
The disk also contains data files in a separate subdirectory useful for one to develop his or her
own color rendering index program.
These tables are extracts of CIE DISK D002-1991 "CIE Colorimetry and Colour Rendering

m
Tables".

values of the various test-colours must be determined for both the illuminant to be tested and the
.L

reference illuminant. The next step is to transform these tristimulus values into co-ordinates of the
1960 UCS diagram* [17].

The adaptive colour shift is accounted for by a VON KRIEStransformation with the fundamental
w

primaries given by JUOD [15]. The difference between the chromaticities of the illuminant to be
tested and the reference illuminant should be small enough to achieve a satisfactory
w

approximation of the effect of chromatic adaptation (see section 5.3).

Then the colour differences of the test-colour samples will be calculated in the 1964 Uniform
Space [17].
5.2. Reference Illuminant
The appraisal of colour rendering properties of a light source shall always be referred to a
Reference lllurninanf, which may be defined mathematically. This reference illuminant shall be of
the same or nearly the same chromaticity as the lamp to be tested.

* The 1960 UCS diagram and 1964 Uniform Space are declared as obsolete recommendations in
CIE 15.2-1986, but have been retained for the time being for calculating colour rendering indices
and correlated colour temperature (see next page) .

For tolerances in the choice of reference illurninants, see section 5.3.

Unless otherwise specified, the reference illuminant for light sources with correlate colour
temperature below 5 O00 K shall be a Planckian radiator and from 5 O00 K one of a series of
spectral power distributions of phases of daylight [17].
For special cases, CIE or other specific standard illurninants may serve as reference illuminant.
In all cases a full description in terms of spectral power distribution for wavelength intervals no
greater than IO nm over the visible spectrum shall be supplied for reference illurninants.
5.3.Tolerances forreference illuminant
The reference illuminant is intended to be of the same or nearly the same chromaticity as the lamp
to be tested. It shall be selected so that the chromaticity difference DC is smaller than 5,4.10-3, if
this is possible. This tolerance is suggested as a practical limit of difference.
The chromaticity difference DC between the lamp to be tested (uk, Vk) and the reference illuminant
(Ur,Vr) will b e calculated as
-
DC = [(Uk Ur)’ + (vk Vr)‘] (5-11
The tolerance of DC = 5,4.10-3 corresponds to about 15 MK-I (reciprocal megakelvin) along the

m
Planckian locus.
If the chromaticity difference between the lamp to be tested and the reference illuminant is greater

co
than the tolerance of DC = 5,4.10” the resulting Coiour Rendering Indices may be expected to
become less accurate. In all cases the reference illuminant shall be indicated in brackets after the

The Colour Rendering Index is designated by the letter R. The "Special Colour rendering Indices"
derived in accordance with clause 6.2 are designated by the symbol Ri (i = 1,2, 3 ...
corresponding to the number of any individual test-colour sample that may be studied). The
General Colour Rendering Index derived in accordance with 6.3 is designated by the symbol Ra

CIE 13.3 -1995

6.2. Calculation of Special Colour Rendering Indices

The Special Colour Rendering Index Ri, based on DEi obtained from formula (5-6) for any
individual test-colour sample, is to be derived by use of the following formula:
Ri= 100 - 4,6 DE/ (6-11
rounding the result to the nearest whole number.
In case of figure 5 being in the first decimal place with subsequent zeros on the following places,
the result should be rounded off or down to the next even number.
The index has been scaled so that I00 represents identity of colour co-ordinates of a test-colour
sample under the source to be tested and its reference standard, and a General Colour Rendering
Index of about 50 is assigned to a standard warn white fluorescent lamp used in earlier studies
tested against an incandescent lamp as reference. This scale adjustment is achieved by use of the
factor 4,6 in equation (6-1).

6.3. Calculation of the General Colour Rendering Index

The General Colour Rendering Index Ra is to be derived as the arithmetical mean of the eight
Special Colour Rendering Indices 4 for the CIE-1974 test-colour samples Nos. 1 ... 8.

7. EXPLANATORYCOMMENTS
7.1. Meaning of the Colour Rendering Indices
gr

In order to describe fully the colour rendering properties of a light source a series of Special Colour
Rendering Indices is necessary. As stated in section 4, the derivation of the (special) Colour
un

Rendering Indices is based on a general comparison of the lengths of colour difference vectors in
the 1964 Uniform Space, ¡.e. the amounts of the colour shifts. The importance of the directions of
is

the colour shifts is recognised but not included in the Colour Rendering Indices.
The average of the indices for certain selected CIE -1974 test-colours samples (Nos. 1 ... 8) yields
.L

the General Colour Rendedng Index (see section 6.3.).This mean indicates in general the average
w

deviation of the colour rendition of the lamp to be tested from that of the reference illuminant.
w

The index is not an absolute figure. For example, a daylight lamp 6 500 K and a warm white lamp
3 O00 K having equal General Colour Rendering Indices close to 100 will differ about as much as
w

their respective reference illuminants, in this case the CIE phase of daylight û65 and the Planckian
- -
radiator 3 O00 K. These reference iilurninants are compared with each other different in their
colour rendering and this will also necessarily apply to the two light sources to be tested, even if
they have the same General Colour Rendering Index.

7.2 Uncertaintiesin the defemination of R

Experience has shown that Colour Rendering indices depend on the choice of reference
illurninants and therefore, on the value of the correlated colour temperature, Tc (to calculate
correlated colour temperature see [20 ... 33}), of the reference illuminant. The corrected value of R
should be regarded as that obtained when this value of T, is made equal to the correlated colour
temperature of the lamp to be tested.
Experience has shown that differences in spectral power distribution due to present methods of
measurement (see section 5.5) may cause uncertainties of the order of Ito 3 units in Ra.
Particular attention should, therefore, be paid to the precise determination of the spectral power
distribution of the light source to be tested.
It has been found that the value of R may be influenced by the spectrum range taken to represent
the visual spectrum (e.g. 400 ... 700 nm, 380 ... 830 nm), and also by the spectral intervals
employed in the computation.

C I E 3 3 . 3 95 I9006345 O000076 633 I

CIE 13.3 -1 995

Spectral intervals of at most 5 nm are recommended. (This is a change compared to CIE 13.2-
1974, where for fluorescent lamps also a spectral interval of 10 nm was permitted. Experience has
shown that with modern spectroradiometric methods and computer controlled spectral data
gathering the 5 nrn interval became industry standard. By using the 5 nm interval measuring
technique it is not necessary to handle continuum and line spectra in two parts. Therefore also the
test sample data are not given anymore for the mercury lines, see 5.4.)
Where there is any doubt, a smaller interval is recommended. The spectral radiance factors for the
CIE-1974 test-colour samples (Section 8, Tables Iand 2) are given from 360 to 830 nm in steps of
5 nm, with the instruction that linear interpolation will be used for smaller intervals (see section
5.4.).

7.3. Influence of test conditions

Uncertainties may also be caused by the manner of operation of lamps and by the geometry of
measurements of the spectral power distribution (e.g. as with a measurement of luminous flux,
luminous intensity, luminance or illuminance).
Each index holds for the particular set of conditions under which the source is operated.
Differences arising from variation of test conditions are not due to the method itself. The choice of
the test conditions should depend on the final purpose.

m
For comparison purposes the geometric-optical arrangement used in the measurement should be

co
indicated as well as the data of operation, such as position of burning, electrical parameters, etc.

7.4. Just perceptible differences in term of R

p.
Both practical experience and the knowledge about DE (the base of the index scale) as a measure
ou
or threshold [17] indicate that differences in Ri of about five units will correspond to visually
perceptible colour differences under the best conditions, provided that the directions of the colour
shifts are nearly the same. No such simple rule can be given for Ra. It is obtained as the average
gr

of eight Ri values, and even when two light sources have exactly the same Ra, differences about 5
units or more in one or more of the Ri's may still be possible, so that their colour rendering
un

properties will be different for the object colours in question. Where the Ra values are close to 100,
the Ri values are unlikely to show variation large enough to result in noticeable colour differences.
But, as the value of Ra decreases from 100, the corresponding special indices Rj show increasing
is

spread.
.L

It should also be kept in mind that although the value Ri does determine the length of this colour
difference vector, it gives no information about the direction of the vector (see section 7.1,).
w

Therefore, if the Ri values for a given sample are 95 under two light sources of equal chromaticity,
w

this does not imply that the sample has equal colour appearance under the two light sources, If the
directions of the vectors are exactly opposite, there will be a colour difference corresponding to 1O
w

units in the Colour Rendering Index Scale.

7.5. Interchangeability of lamps with regad to their colour rendering properties

Due to the reasons given in section 7.4 equivalence of Ra for two lamps does not guarantee
identical colour rendering properties for them because averaging different Special Colour
Rendering Indices may result in the same value of Ra Also the same value of the Special Colour
Rendering Indices may be caused by colour shifts in different directions, although the amounts of
the shifts are the same. Therefore, the General Colour Rendering Index Ra does not guarantee full
interchangeability of individual tamps from the point of view of their colour rendering properties,
even in the case where the colour appearances of these lamps are the same within certain
tolerances.
To meet this difficulty a set of Special Colour Rendering Indices has to be specified within some
-
tolerances which together with specified values of the chromaticity of the light sources -
guarantee interchangeability regarding colour rendering. The assessment of inter-changeability will
improve as the number of Special Colour Rendering Indices increases and the sizes of permitted
tolerances are decreased. If interchangeability regarding colour rendering has to be guaranteed
using only one index like Ra, a spectral power distribution representative of that of the lamp to be
tested can be used as reference illuminant against which the lamp to be tested is evaluated.

1960 UCS diagram

An approximately uniform chromaticity diagram produced by plotting in rectangular co-ordinates v
against u, quantities defined in equation (1).

U = 4X / (-2X +I2y + 3) = 4X / (X + 15Y + 32);

v = 6 y / ( - 2 +12y
~ + 3) = 6Y I (X + 15Y + 32)

Reciprocal megakelvin (MK”)

Term used to describe correlated colour temperature differences. Its value is 1O6 K-l. (It replaces
the obsolete and depreciated term “mired: micro-reciprocaldegree.)
Note: Equal differences along the Planckian locus correspond to roughly equal reciprocal
megakelvin differences.

APPENDIX 2: CIE Disk 0008. Computer program to calculate CRIS

The CIE Central Bureau provides on request a disk that can be used on an IBM PC or compatible
and contains in a subdirectory the tables necessary to calculate the Riand Ra indices.
An other subdirectory contains two programs to be used in a "DOS" or in an "MS-WINDOWS"
environment to calculate the Ri and Ra indices.
Although the CIE CB made all efforts to secure that these programs provide the correct values, no
guarantee is taken. They are not part of the Technical Report and are not a CIE endorsed
publication.
As short introduction of the programs, excerpts of the Press Release announcing them is
reproduced here for your convenience.

The software available as CIE D008, Rel. 1.0 - 1995 is based on the updated method of
-
measuring colour rendering indices. It will produce results that agree to the uncertainty of
-
rounding the last digits -with results calculated on the basis of CIE 13.3 1995.

The programs CIEl3-3w.exe and CIEl3-3d.exe are computer based tools for specifying
colour rendering properties of light sources. The programs calculate, according to the rules

m
described in CIE 13.3-1995, the light source chromaticity co-ordinates, the correlated colour
temperature, the 14 special colour rendering indices and the general colour rendering index,

co
using the first 8 CIE test colour samples. The program allows the use of other test colour
samples as well. p.
The program CIEI3-3w.exe runs in a Windows environment (version 3.0 or higher).
ou
CIE13-3d.exe is the same program running under DOS.

Both programs include options to save the results in a file and to print them. CIE13-3w has
gr

built in clipboard facilities to transfer data directly to word processors, spread-sheet

applications or other Windows programs.
