Here we are misusing it to refer not to two objects that match under one
light no longer matching under another, but to one print that shows a certain
color balance under one light not exhibiting a similar balance under another.
For instance fleshtones printed on a 2000p on semigloss paper will appear a
sallow, yellowish tone under one typical lighting condition, and ruddy and
red under another. So it could be claimed that the thing they no longer match
would be the model... but actually its the balance and perceived tone. This
effect is minimized with the 5500 and 10000.
