He said the main adavntage of the instrument is that it can see the actual characteristics of each color in the spectrum. By comparison, the human eye has to look at the entire color spectrum and then make an average.

The instrument, on the other hand, consistently sees the same color, regardless of circumstances. According to Barnes, you should never lie down pn a color comparing job.

By throwing a light upon a bright white square surrounded by black, and then varying the amounts of light, the white becomes a deep gray and the black appears to lighten to a light gray. Merely an optical illusion, but a similar illusion can happen when you buy a green suit under a green light and then look at it under daylight, Barnes said.
