6.3. CRI, Ra and Ri - different colour rendering values
The CRI (colour rendering index) and Ra (arithmetic average) value are different names for the same thing. They are defined as the
“effect of an illuminant on the colour appearance of objects by conscious or unconscious comparison with their colour appearance
under a reference illuminant”.
CRI and Ra are determined by a test procedure. In this procedure eight colour samples (R1-R8) are illuminated both by the light in
