Metamerism is a phenomenon where two objects recognized as having different colors under one light are also recognized as having the same color under another light. This research proposes technology for actualizing artistic illusion that exploits metamerism. Specifically, the purpose of the research relates to automatic calculation of blending ratios of oil paints that cause metamerism to occur under specific light sources. It entails metamerism occurring between four types of object colors under two types of light sources. This enables us to create false shading where the observer recognizes the 2D oil painting as if it is a 3D object with plausible shading.
