appearance matching
 

the ICC www.color.org currently uses CIE instrumental color matching
unless you opt to use the perceptual reference medium gamut in which
there is some attempt at appearance matching for certain applications

I could be wrong, it has been almost 20 years since I have been in the
business

anyways

the only two workflows/use-cases I can think where you would want
instrumental color matching a
1) instrumental applications
2) input appearance same as output appearance

why not use CIECAM and allow for workflows/use-cases in which the input
and output have different appearance criteria?

you could allow the user to select the appearances and from there be
given appearance matching profiles to choose from

I know there is such a thing as "good enough" matching and perfect
matching and that sometimes "good enough" matching is "good enough" for
quality/price/time considerations

there is also the issue that CIE only has 2 and 10 degree observers, right?
