What is the Best Lighting for the Farnsworth-Munsell (FM) Hue Color Test?

A person taking the Farnsworth-Munsell Hue Color Test in a lightbooth where there are controlled lighting settings for accuracy

When administering the Farnsworth-Munsell (FM) Hue Color Test, it should be given under daylight conditions for accurate analysis and scoring. You want to use a certified daylight lighting source of D65 for all industries except print, where you would use D50. This is what is provided by our Macbeth Lighting SpectraLight ® and Judge® viewing booths.
