IES Webinar: ANSI/IES TM-30 for Fine Art Under Low Illuminance
August 14, 2025 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET
Conservation can restrict light levels low enough to be subject to the Hunt Effect, a perceived decrease in saturation. A pair of Penn State studies explored the application of a red-saturating TM-30 gamut family on fine art. The results were as complex as the artwork that was illuminated. The presentation will conclude with practical application and the nuances of utilizing ANSI/IES TM-30-24 Technical Memorandum: IES Method for Evaluating Light Source Color Rendition for fine art.
