- Color Quality Scale
-
Color Quality Scale (CQS) is a quantitative measure of the ability of a light source to reproduce colors of illuminated objects. Developed by researchers at NIST[1], the measure is a possible answer to the criticism of the widely used color rendering index. [2]
Pousset et al.[3] developed a psychophysical experiment in order to evaluate light quality of LED lightings. It is based on colored samples used in the Color Quality Scale. Predictions of the CQS and results from visual measurements were compared.
