==Examples== Unfinished wood exhibits roughly Lambertian reflectance, but wood finished with a glossy coat of [[polyurethane]] does not, since the glossy coating creates [[specular highlight]]s. Though not all rough surfaces are Lambertian, this is often a good approximation, and is frequently used when the characteristics of the surface are unknown.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Lu|first1=Renfu|title=Light Scattering Technology for Food Property, Quality and Safety Assessment|publisher=[[CRC Press]]|isbn=9781482263350|page=26|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=phZjDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA26|language=en|date=2016}}</ref> [[Spectralon]] is a material which is designed to exhibit an almost perfect Lambertian reflectance.<ref name="Ikeuchi14" />
