To specify a colour match three independent variables are necessary and sufficient

For additive mixture of colour stimuli, only their tristimulus values are relevant, not their spectral composition

In additive mixtures of colour stimuli, if one or more components are gradually changed, the resulting tristimulus values also change gradually
