The Color of White |
 | | According to the Kruithof curve, an observer prefers lower color temperature lighting when the light level is lower, and prefers a higher color temperature when the light level is higher. |
 | | According to the Kruithof curve, if the painting is illuminated at the same color temperature under which it was created (for example, 10,000° K), but at a much lower light level (for example, at 20 footcandles), the condition of display would be unpleasant. |
 | | Based on the Kruithof curve and experiments in progress, it is probable that the preferred color temperature will shift, based on the intensity of the illumination source. |
