| Blood The color of blood depends on its oxygen level. When there is plenty of oxygen, the color is a brighter red. The reason is because of a protein called hemoglobin, which carries the oxygen in your blood. When hemoglobin has a full oxygen load, it has a bright red color, and when it's deoxygenated it's a darker red. For example, arterial and capillary blood is bright, and venous blood is dark. | kg/m3 | |||

| Brass Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, with a bright and gold-like appearance. It is similar to bronze, another alloy containing copper that uses tin instead of zinc. Historically, the distinction between the two alloys has been less consistent and clear, and modern practice in museums and archaeology increasingly avoids both terms for historical objects in favor of the more general "copper alloy". | - | kg/m3 | ||

| Car Paint Modern car paints are nearly always an acrylic polyurethane "enamel" with a pigmented basecoat and a clear topcoat. It may be described as "acrylic", "acrylic enamel", "urethane", etc. and the clearcoat in particular may be described as a lacquer. The size of the metal flakes in metallic paints is typically between 100 to 400 microns in diameter. Modern automobile paint is applied in several layers, with a total thickness of around 100 μm (0.1mm). | - | |||

| Pearl The akoya pearl is a saltwater cultured pearl from the akoya oyster. Akoya are considered to be the classic pearl used for necklaces and other pearl jewelry. Nacre is the material of which pearls are composed and consists of aragonite crystal layers separated by conchiolin, a protein secreted by mollusk shells. The thickness of these layers determines the color of reflection from the nacre. The transmission interference color is complementary to the reflection interference color. | kg/m3 | |||

| Soap Bubble The colors of a soap bubble are the result of an interaction between the light reflected from the front and back surfaces of the soap film, a phenomenon known as thin-film interference. The thickness of a soap bubble can range between 10 nm and 1000 nm. It's thinner at the top due to gravity. | - | |||

| Water While relatively small quantities of water appear to be colorless, pure water has a slight blue color that becomes deeper as the thickness of the observed sample increases. The hue of water is an intrinsic property and is caused by selective absorption and scattering of white light. Dissolved elements or suspended impurities may give water a different color. | Typical range: 958–1000 kg/m3 kg/m3 | |||

Light Sources
| Name | Intensity Luminous flux is measured in lumen (lm) and is the quantity of light emitted by a source. Illuminance is measured in lux (lx) and is the measure of light quantity that hits a surface. Luminance is measured in candelas per square meter (cd/m²) and is the measure of light that is emitted from a surface. Radiant flux is measured in watts (W) and is the radiant energy emitted by a source. Irradiance is measured in watts per square meter (W/m²) and is the radiant energy received by a surface. | ||

| Car Headlight (Halogen) Tungsten-halogen bulbs, commonly just called halogen, are the most widely used bulbs in car headlights. High beam is approximately double the intensity of a low beam. | K | Typical range: 700–2000 lm lm | |
| Digital Display Displays like computer monitors, TVs, signage, etc. Typically they have a temperature of 6500K but it can vary. The sRGB spec for monitors targets 80 cd/m2. Typically, monitors calibrated for broadcast or studio color grading should have a brightness of 100 cd/m2 in Japan and in the United States, or 120 cd/m2 in the European Union. This is however considered quite dark for normal use, so consumer monitors tend to be brighter. | K | Typical range: 100–2000 cd/m2 cd/m2 | |
| Firefly Fireflies produce a "cold light", with no infrared or ultraviolet frequencies. The light may be yellow, green, or pale red, with wavelengths from 510 to 670 nanometers. Some species such as the dimly glowing "blue ghost" of the Eastern US may seem to emit blueish-white light from a distance and in low light conditions, but their glow is bright green when observed up close. Their perceived blue tint may be due to the Purkinje effect. | - | lm | |

| Kerosene Lamp | K | Typical range: 8–100 lm lm | |
| Kino Flo MIMIK 120 | K Typical range: 2700–6500 K | cd/m2 | |
| Household Light Bulb Today's household lightbulbs has a LED light source whereas older light bulbs were using a glowing tungsten filament. LED:s are much much more energy efficient and makes the use of wattage, as a measure of intensity, not very useful. This is why lumen is preferred. | K Typical range: 2400–6000 K | Typical range: 400–1000 lm lm | |
| Moon Technically not a light source, since the light from the moon is simply reflected sunlight. Moonlight is warmer than sunlight due to the surface material of the moon shifting it towards a redder color. Just as sunlight, moonlight is also subject to atmospheric scattering known as Rayleigh scattering, where it goes more towards red during moonrise and moonset. Moonlight is often mistaken to be bluish due to the Purkinje effect. | K | Typical range: 0.05–0.32 lx lx | |

| Sky (Moonless Clear Night) Even a moonless sky casts some light on earth. A phenomenon called airglow, and also starlight, contributes to this. The color of airglow varies | - | lx | |
| Sky (Overcast Day) | K | Typical range: 100–2000 lx lx | |
| Street Light The type of yellow light typically used in street lighting is usually a sodium-vapor light. To simulate a sodium-vapor light faithfully you would need a spectral renderer where you can specify the very narrow wavelength range of 589.0 - 589.6 nm in order to get its bespoke monochromatic look. | - | Typical range: 2000–140000 lm lm | |
| Sun The changing color of the Sun over the course of the day is mainly a result of the scattering of sunlight and is not due to changes in black-body radiation. The solar illuminance constant is equal to 128 000 lux, but atmospheric extinction brings the number of lux down to around 100 000 lux. | K | Typical range: 400–100000 lx lx |
