As I read it, that definition would definitely cover a match between

not the only one.
I agree with you 100%. My objection came from your original post:
If your on-screen image is one sample, your inkjet print is the
second sample, and they match under one lighting condition but not
another, then you have a metameric pair -- a pure example of
metamerism with no quotes required.
The match between the monitor and the print under one lighting condition is
indeed a metameric match. But the further statement that the monitor and
print no longer match under a different lighting condition does not
contribute anything to "a pure example of metamerism" except confusion. It
is not relevant, and should have been excluded, IMO.
Well, OK, except, if they matched under all lighting conditions, it
wouldn't be metamerism. Not that that's at all likely or possible.
