Necessary and sufficient conditions for Von Kries chromatic adaptation to give color constancy.

Necessary and sufficient spectral conditions are presented for Von Kries chromatic adaptation to give color constancy. Von-Kries-invariant reflectance spectra are computed for illuminant spectral power distributions that are arbitrary linear combinations of the first three daylight phases. Experiments are suggested to test models of color constancy using computed spectra (either exact or approximate) within the illuminant-invariant framework.
