| Colour item | White appearance note | CRI or Ra note | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warm interior note | List warm white separately from the measured or stated CCT range. | List the Ra or CRI value as its own field. | Warm white does not automatically mean high colour rendering. |
| Neutral task note | Name whether the brief asks for neutral white or a stated kelvin band. | Keep colour rendering beside the task description. | A neutral appearance does not confirm colour accuracy for the task. |
| Cool task note | Treat cool white as appearance, not as a brightness result. | Keep Ra or CRI distinct from lux and glare notes. | Cool white can still need a separate rendering check. |
| Mixed-room note | List different white appearances by zone when a room has more than one condition. | Avoid averaging unrelated Ra or CRI values across different zones. | One zone note should not stand for the whole room. |
| Colour-sensitive task | Add appearance preference only after the task surface is named. | Use the CRI or Ra field to note whether colour judgement is important. | Do not treat CCT as a substitute for colour rendering. |
| Replacement comparison | Compare old and new white appearance in the same field. | Compare old and new Ra or CRI in a separate field. | A closer white appearance match can still have different colour rendering. |
