Specular Component Included (SCI) vs. Specular Component Excluded (SCE)

Posted on November 29, 2021 by Ken Phillips

In various color measurement applications, you may notice that the apparent lightness of a sample differs based on its glossiness. For example, the color of a glossy blue object seems more vivid than a rough-textured object of the same hue. Two samples with different surface textures can be viewed as different colors. Spectrophotometers measured the […]
