Richard,

Think about the fenomen that; the eye adjust to any given light scale, from the lightest light to the darkest dark, and is always able to form a scale of values within the given conditions.

I am aware that the paint value scale is much more narrow than the scale of light.

I believe that it widens relativly as much as the outdoor light because; the reason why we see colors at all is that a given light source is shining light at it. Little or much, the relativeness will be the same.

Wil not the conditions for measuring, with a tool, be the same no matter the light conditions?

The colors we see are due to the additive light, it only becomes subtractive when we start mixing the paint.

Let's see how far we can take this topic, buddy.
