Just as a follow up I did the following experiment: 1) I grabbed the ColorChecker spreadsheet summaries (using the Lab version) from Bruce Lindbloom: http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorCheckerRGB.html 2) I converted the D50 Lab coordinates to XYZ (these do not totally agree with the values from the ColorChecker Calculator but it should be OK for this purpose) 3) I computed the adaptation matrix from D50 to D65 using both the ICC matrix and Lam's matrix 4) Then I converted back to Lab and compared the result with the values using the D65 source.
To summarize the results I got the following differences (DeltaE CIE76 for simplicity) : ICC: Lam: -------------------------------- Median: 0.89 1.60 Max: 3.14 6.40 RMS: 1.31 2.40 So I am completely satisfied that the ICC specification got it right after all. Sorry for the noise.
