In particular, the authoring of spectral material properties (e.g., albedo maps, indices of refraction, transmittance coefficients) raises new problems. While a large panel of computer graphics methods exists to upsample a RGB color to a spectrum, they all provide a one-to-one mapping. This limits the ability to control interesting color changes such as the Usambara effect or metameric spectra. In this work, we introduce a one-to-many mapping in which we show how we can explore the set of all spectra reproducing a given input color. We apply this method to different colour changing effects such as vathochromism - the change of color with depth, and metamerism.10.1111/cgf.1488611 pages
