Of course you are right -- it was just the combination of my bad English and the
lousy spell checker of the webmail interface I have to use at the moment that
caused this error. Thank you for the correction.

Sorry -- this time I disagree: I think metamerism is a perfectly valid term in
this context -- of course not as a synonym for color inconstancy, but in the
sense that a metameric match typically only works for /one/ illuminant (and
observer) and fails more ore less dramatically for others -- because
of color inconstancy. IMHO it is a very instructive demonstration of an
important property of metamerism: it (typically) only works for one illuminant.
