Hi B. D., As the meter cell in most cameras are reading rflected light and as most of the reflected light cells 'average' the reading to about 18% grey, it stands to reason that the reflectivity of the object is not important; any slight changes in color over time will be compensated for by the meter's cell ability to 'average' the reading.
