Metamerism and Multi-Primary Displays

The media in our eyes yellow with age, causing us to make different color matches as we get older. For multi-primary displays that push the gamut limits to colors that previously could not be rendered, metamerism can result: Screen colors that match in theory may not match to you, the viewer. To satisfy an aging customer population, manufacturers must minimize this problem. Here is how it can be done.
