This dataset contains images of matte colour patches placed on a shadow boundary. These images provide a particularly hard case for Colour Constancy algorithms because half of the pixels in each image have a different light colour to the rest of the image. Each scene was captured twice, one with a Macbeth Colour Checker in shadow and one with it out of shadow. The shutter speed and aperture size was set to automatic.
