Abstract
Submerged spectral reflectance measurements made on paint samples using two different techniques are compared. With the first technique spectral measurements are made with a simple thin water film measurement technique originally used for photopic viewing. A comparison of these measurements with a second technique in which the measured sample is immersed in water in a cylindrical container and the submerged reflectance is measured with a goniophotometer shows good agreement for wavelengths from 420 to 700 nm.
