12.1.2.3-7 Reflectance

Reflectance should conform to the recommendations shown in Table 12.3.

Additional Information:
The amount of light reflected from a surface depends on its color; typical reflectance values for various colors are given in Table 12.4. Surfaces adjacent to a VDU should have a dull matte finish to reduce glare. The luminance range of surfaces immediately adjacent to VDUs should be between 10 percent and 100 percent of screen background luminance.
