The problem is colors appearing different under different lighting conditions

 

Color may appear differently under different lighting conditions

Some colorants react to different types of lighting by reflecting different colors; this is known as 'metamerism'.

Without a standardized lighting environment in which to view images, the light source can change the appearance of colors.

The solution is to view and compare images under standardized viewing conditions. It is advised to use a D50 light booth, such as the Just Normlicht Color-Match 5000.
