When developing for garment production, designers always have to check the color correctness of trims and fabrics to make sure the lab dips are true to what their color standards. When I interned at Theory's fabric department this summer, my boss would usually go under the light box to check the colors because normal indoor lighting is not good enough to tell the differences. She'd always write on the headers: 5% more blue, 5% less yellow etc. It was really an estimate she said but I'm sure it takes a lot of experience to do that too. Below are two pictures of zippers and trims under different lighting.
This is someone comparing perhaps a lap dip with the original color under a light box.
This is how the light box look like. Every big fashion companies have at least one.
This is a pre-owned truck with a bad paint job, probably under bad lighting. Funny. :)
