*Color temperatures for these non-blackbody chromaticities were estimated by drawing normals to the blackbody locus on a plot of
Zc/Yc against
X/Y, (scale factor 2) and reading reciprocal temperature from a plot of
Zc/Yc against reciprocal temperature for blackbodies. They will, of course, differ from estimates based on other types of “uniform-chromaticity-scale diagram.”
