The first eight samples, a subset of the eighteen proposed in {{harvtxt|Nickerson|1960}}, are relatively low saturated colors and are evenly distributed over the complete range of hues.<ref>See the CIE 1960 UCS diagram towards the end of the [[#Example|Example]] section.</ref> These eight samples are employed to calculate the general color rendering index <math>R_a</math>. The last six samples provide supplementary information about the color rendering properties of the light source; the first four for high saturation, and the last two as representatives of well-known objects. The reflectance spectra of these samples may be found in {{harvtxt|CIE|2004}},<ref>[http://photometry.kriss.re.kr/wiki/img_auth.php/4/47/CIE_TCS.csv TCS spectra in CSV form] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090211042805/http://photometry.kriss.re.kr/wiki/img_auth.php/4/47/CIE_TCS.csv |date=February 11, 2009 }}, Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science.</ref> and their approximate Munsell notations are listed aside.<ref>[https://www.rit.edu/science/munsell-color-science-lab-educational-resources#munsell-renotation-data Munsell Renotation Data], ''Munsell Color Science Laboratory'', [[Rochester Institute of Technology]]</ref> [[File:CIE CRI TCS SPDs.svg|300px|right]] {{-}}
