Different resins with same Vita shade showed recognizable color difference(ΔE*>2).
All composites had MI below accepted value 0.5 between standard illuminant(D65, C, & A) and below 1.5 under fluorescent condition (Fcw & TL84).
MI value between D65 and A showed higher value than MI value between other source of light(p<0.01).
All resins except Z250 showed MI value that A3 is higher than A1 between D65 and A(p<0.05).
