A '''color rendering index''' ('''CRI''') is a quantitative measure of the ability of a [[light source]] to reveal the [[color]]s of various objects faithfully in comparison with an ideal or natural light source. Light sources with a high CRI are desirable in color-critical applications such as [[neonatal care]]{{Citation needed}} and [[art restoration]]. It is defined by the [[International Commission on Illumination]] (CIE) as follows:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cie.co.at/publ/abst/17-4-89.html |title=CIE 17.4-1987 International Lighting Vocabulary |access-date=2008-02-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100227034508/http://www.cie.co.at/publ/abst/17-4-89.html |archive-date=2010-02-27 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
