SYSTEM FOR ILLUMINATION AND COLOR MANAGEMENT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for illumination and color management in a system which has a plurality of color sources and a plurality of color sensors and in which there are more color sources than color sensors.SOLUTION: The method according to the present invention comprises emitting a plurality of different colors of light from at least two of the color sources 116, 118, 120, and 122. The plurality of colors consist of different intensities of light emitted by the plurality of color sources 116, 118, 120, and 122. Colors of light emitted by the at least two color sources 116, 118, 120, and 122 are detected using at least one of color sensors 130. A color rendering index for each of the plurality of colors emitted is determined. A color of light to be emitted by the light sources 112 is selected. The intensities of light to be emitted by the color sources 116, 118, 120, and 122 are selected, based at least in part on the color rendering index, to achieve the selected color of light.
