A lighting system is disclosed. The lighting system includes a first lighting module and a second lighting module connected parallel to the first lighting module. The first lighting module generates light at a first color temperature and the second lighting module generates light at a second color temperature. The first lighting module has a first activation voltage and the second lighting module has a second activation voltage. The two lighting modules generate light when the current flow through them. When input voltage is changed, not only does the amount of current flowing through the two modules change, but also ratio of the amount of current flowing through the two lighting modules changes. The change in the ratio changes the color temperature of the light produced by the lighting system which is a combination of the light produced by the two modules.

A method for estimating color measurements of color samples includes printing a color sample based on input data, measuring a color of the printed color sample with an in-line spectral sensor at a first temperature, and estimating a color of the printed color sample which would be output by a reference spectral sensor at a second temperature. The estimation is based on a thermochromatic model which represents relationships between measured colors of printed color samples on the in-line spectral sensor at the first temperature and the reference spectral sensor at the second temperature. The reference spectral sensor is a different type of sensor from the in-line spectral sensor, so the color response of the two spectral sensors is different, even when the measurement conditions are identical. Consequently, a set of printed spot color samples generate different measured colors at the second temperature on the in-line spectral sensor from the reference spectral sensor. The exemplary method allows these differences, as well as measurement temperature differences to be accounted for in the estimation.
