Test Kit Charts

How do you properly read test kit charts from API freshwater master kit?

Do you place the tube next to the color chart so it'll have a white background? Or place under bright light and check the color from there? Or...?

I noticed when I place it under light the color is lighter but when I place it in front of a white background such as the chart, it's darker. So the readings are different depending on what kind of background... Please help me!

Thank you
