Well, OK, except, if they matched under all lighting conditions, it

wouldn't be metamerism. Not that that's at all likely or possible.
I agree with Sir Fraser on this point. It's very relevant.
The fact that two samples match under illuminant A is not sufficient to
demonstrate metamerism. They may actually be spectrally identical, in
which case they are not metamers.
You also have to show that they *do not* match under some second
illuminant B.
