Examples

• The tristimulus values X, Y, and Z define the color coordinates in the CIE color space.
• Color matching requires precise tristimulus measurements.
• The display’s tristimulus response was calibrated using standard illuminants.
• Tristimulus colorimetry forms the basis of modern color reproduction.
• Each tristimulus value corresponds to a different color receptor response.
• The printer uses tristimulus data to ensure accurate color matching.
