Two panels showing the same colour rendering index can render a complexion very differently, because an average index hides weakness at particular wavelengths, especially in the reds. On skin, that is exactly where it shows. So we measure our sources in the shop and display those readings next to the manufacturer's sheet. Sometimes they agree. Sometimes they do not.
