Actual viewing illuminant? You mean "adapted" from their D50-based original
values?

Viewing illuminant? That's starting to sound chinese to me :((

OK.

Right. It's not possible to adapt the colorimetry out to anything else
without this information, as far as I know.

Then, all D50-based measurements of my spectro in reflectance mode are
considered "made for a D50 viewing illuminant", right?
This is so confusing. Why did they change the rules?
