Abstract The wavelength interval 360‐830 nm relevant in colorimetric computations is sometimes truncated by the instrument used to measure the spectral characteristic of a material, or the spectral power distribution of a source, or simply by choice. The (systematic) error resulting from this truncation has been derived. Tables are given for the calculation of the truncation error in each case.
