wavelengths, an equal additi<strong>on</strong>al amount of every wavelength is the perceptual<br />
equivalent of the color shifting closer to white. Similarly, if the overall reflectance<br />
curve shift is downwards, the material is perceived as getting darker. In both<br />
instances, this is not exactly the case, since the spectra must be integrated against<br />
the eye’s resp<strong>on</strong>se matching functi<strong>on</strong>s (which are wavelength-dependent). Hence,<br />
luminance changes are wavelength-dependent to some extent.<br />
In Figure 6.4, the spectral curves of Lapis lazuli in Gouache are increasing<br />
substantially over <strong>time</strong>. This is occurring at relatively a uniform rate <strong>and</strong> <strong>on</strong>e is<br />
safe to presume that the overall luminance is increasing (the corresp<strong>on</strong>ding images<br />
also support this behavior). In the same manner in the previous secti<strong>on</strong>, the<br />
spectral reflectance data has been c<strong>on</strong>verted into the various color systems to aide<br />
in further analysis. Viewing any of the luminance indicators (Y , V ,orL ∗ )also<br />
supports the behavior that was observed–all of these indicators increase with <strong>time</strong>.<br />
However, the spectral reflectance curves are not changing entirely uniformly<br />
with this material. Reexamining the diffuse reflectance at the six <strong>time</strong> intervals,<br />

it is evident that the reflectance values of the lower <strong>and</strong> higher regi<strong>on</strong>s of the
