Sorry to intrude, Klaus, but that ought to read "color inconstancy" (not "inconsistency", which is not an applicable term in this instance).
Also, "metamerism" is not a valid term at all in this context, so it should not be suggested (by means of the "slash" character [/]) that it's interchangeable with "color inconstancy", since it is not. The former ("metamerism") is incorrect, the latter ("color inconstancy") is correct.
Sorry if my reminder irritates some of the people on this forum -- those who may wonder why I keep making such a fuss over "metamerism" when so many already (incorrectly) use it to indicate this meaning of color inconstancy: well...that's exactly why!
Cheers.
