Now hold on.....
Why don't you try this: I bet if you shoot one and the same colour
sample in one and the same dim lit room in DIFFERENT scenes, you'll come
up with some spectacular colour differences. Even in this fairly
controlled situation, you won't find colour matching. Lighting
conditions are far more complex than just plugging in another light
source.
