Industrial color matching with daylight D65
With a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 6500 K, D65 corresponds to "average daylight from the northern sky" and is the reference illuminant in DIN 6173-2 "Color matching" and a referenced illuminant in ASTM D1729. Its spectral energy distribution between 300 and 780 nm is described in DIN 5033 at increments of 5 nm.
Any lamp designed to simulate D65 must comply with standard ISO 3668 "Visual comparison of the color of paints". The standard describes all the parameters required to ensure standard-compliant color comparisons, such as standards presentation, viewing and ambient conditions. The illuminance level defined in this standard is between 1000 and 4000 lux, this wide range being due to the diversity of different applications. JUST viewing booths and luminaires achieve an illuminance of 2000 lux as standard, with optional brightness controls on soft proofing models.
Viewing devices for the manufacturing industry
UV component for standardized viewing
In addition to the spectral simulation of daylight, a D65 standardized light must contain the UV component of the standard illuminant to support detecting optical brightening agents (OBAs) and other fluorescing materials. ISO 23603 defines the required simulation quality for standardized lights in the visible light range (VIS) and in the UV range. Color matching standards, such as ISO 3668 and ASTM 1729, stipulate that a D65 simulator must correspond to quality grade BC in ISO 23603 as a minimum.
D65 viewing devices
All JUST standardized viewing booths and the JUST daylight 6500 proIndustry lamps exceed the stringent requirements of the color matching standards, readily achieving tight tolerance limits. With a homogeneous, faithful simulation of the CIE-D65 spectral energy distribution, a high color rendering index, and good metameric properties, these products create controlled, reproducible lighting conditions for standard-compliant color assessment and matching across a very wide range of materials and industries.
Applications
The CIE Standard Illuminant D65 is the industry reference standard in the published standards ISO 3668, ASTM 1729 and DIN 6173-2 for the visual matching of colored materials, surfaces, and finishes. Among other uses, D65 is employed by manufacturing industries for color standards and samples testing in applications ranging from automotive accessories and interior parts, to color-sorting of spare parts and food quality inspections. As color is pervasive, the diversity of industries referencing D65 is virtually inexhaustible and includes:
- Automotive & Aerospace
- Biological & Pharmaceuticals
- Ceramics
- Chemicals
- Food and Agriculture
- Furniture
- Paints, coatings, finishes
- Paper and packaging
- Plastics
- Textiles & Fabrics
