If I can try to draw a conclusion from what you say, then, when we
refer to
the change in appearance of a print under different illuminants it
would be
more appropriate to say that that specific print is "color
inconstant."
Compared to you and other "color monsters" on this forum, my color
science
is certainly more than a bit weeny: all the more reason for me not to
compound my relative ignorance by misusing the terminology. That's
why I
sincerely thank you for clearing this one up for me.
Hi Marco,
If you are interested in more information there is nice coverage of
the subject, including the colour inconstancy index (CII) metric, in
the highly recommended Principles of Color Technology.
R.S.Berns, Billmeyer and Saltzman's Principles of Color Technology,
3rd edition, John Wiley, 2000.

Steve
P.S. Personally I think we should try to correct the misuse of
metamerism for the single print case. There is already a perfectly
good term and metric to describe it :)
