Color constancy : surface color from changing illumination

Viewing the lights reflected by a set of three or more surfaces, a trichromatic visual system can recover three color-constant descriptors of reflectance per surface if the color of the surfaces’ illuminant changes. This holds true for a broad range of models that relate photoreceptor, surface, and illuminant spectral properties. Changing illumination, which creates the problem of color constancy, affords its solution.
