Abstract
The amounts of any set of three primaries that are needed by the CIE observer to match any spectrum color can be computed by combination (addition or subtraction) of the same multiples of the CIE color-matching data x̄, ȳ, z̄ for all wavelengths. The amounts of those same primaries that the CIE observer would need to match any color, in general, are the same combinations of the tristimulus values X, Y, Z. Such combinations are called linear combinations because the tristimulus values themselves are used, not any nonlinear functions of them.
