incoming light. (Simple sentence)
2. This is approximately the equivalent of daylight and is used as a reference
light when viewing images, proofs and prints. (Compound sentence)
3. There is also the situation in which two colors that look identical in particular

off those objects.

# A single color may be perceived as two totally different colors when placed next to

# There is also the situation in which two colors that look identical in particular light
become completely different in another light.
5. Neutral white is found in the middle between warm and cool white light. On the
Kelvin scale, it’s around 4,000K.
# A normal, neutral lighting has a color temperature of about 5,000 K. This is
approximately the equivalent of daylight and is used as a reference light when viewing
images, proofs and prints.
