   Metamerism
   An effect where a colour appears to be different in different lights. Metamerism is a fact of nature and paints are often mistakenly blamed when metamerism is really the cause. The reason is that different types of light render colour differently. For example, natural sunlight contains more blue light, whereas artificial lights contain more orange. Thus blues will appear more intense in daylight than in artificial light.
