Colour itemWhite appearance noteCRI or Ra noteBoundary
Warm interior noteList 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 noteName 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 noteTreat 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 noteList 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 taskAdd 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 comparisonCompare 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.
