Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue test (FM-100) error scores were compared for two illuminating conditions. The first illuminant was a simulation of CIE standard illuminant C, the recommended illuminant for the FM-100, and the second illuminant was a commonly used fluorescent. An evaluation of some common error patterns was also performed.
