Portable Color Measurement Tool with Bluetooth: A Comprehensive Color-Matching Solution 

CR8 realizes the two-in-one spectrophotometer and spectrocolorreader, easy to use and not expensive. It is a masterpiece that integrates high precision, high performance, and high cost performance.

 

The CR8 (Professional) is a portable spectrophotometer developed by 3nh using its own core technology of spectroscopy. It uses a built-in silicon photodiode array (dual-row 24 groups) sensor, an imported white board, and the repeatability ΔE*ab can be easily controlled within 0.04. CR8's powerful performance configuration and excellent inter-instrument error make color measurement more professional, while also ensuring the consistency of measurement data of multiple devices. The CR8 spectrocolorreader takes into account the measurement speed and the convenience of operation at the same time. The color can be controlled through the PC-side software, and it can also be seamlessly connected to the mobile device through Bluetooth.It greatly expands the application space of the colorimeter, and makes the traditional colorimeter glow with a different application charm.
 

1. Adopt full-band balanced LED light source

The full-band balanced LED light source ensures sufficient spectral distribution in the visible light range, avoids the lack of spectrum of white LEDs in a specific band, and ensures the measurement speed of the instrument and the accuracy of the measurement results.

8. Customize a single measuring aperture to accurately meet the needs of sample measurement

Spectrocolorreader CR8 (Professional) can choose Ø8mm or Ø4mm platform aperture according to your needs to meet your sample measurement needs.
 
Single aperture 4/ 8mm optional
 

9. Massive color card database

The instrument stores 500 standard and 10,000 samples, and the APP synchronously stores a large amount of data, which can quickly check color data, analyze and compare.
Use the App to build your private color database in the cloud. You don't need to carry a heavy color card. You can use CR8 colorreader to find the closest color in multiple color cards anytime and anywhere.

FAQs About ColorReader

Techniques of measuring color are visual color comparison, colorimetry (with colorimeters) and spectrophotometry (measuring spectral reflectance), and image analysis. Both techniques measure the reflection or absorption of light by materials and are commonly quantified. Therefore standardized in color spaces such as CIELAB or RGB.

The color measurement theory is the quantification of the interaction of materials with light, either absorption, transmission, or reflection. It employs standard colour spaces (such as CIELAB) and devices (colorimeters, spectrophotometers) to code the visual colour into objective and reproducible data.

The measurement of color varies according to context in several units. Such common units are L*a*b* (CIELAB), RGB (Red-Green-Blue), and color difference (Delta E). In light absorption, there are no units assigned to absorbance. But the quantitative analysis of absorbance obeys Beer's Law in colorimetry.

Color measurement methods involve visual approximation (against color charts), colorimetry (by means of filters and detectors), spectrophotometry (a more detailed spectral analysis), and image analysis by computer. These are color measurement methods that are applied in the laboratory, production, and quality assessment.

Color is a qualitative and quantitative measure. Qualitatively, it can be characterized by the hue, the saturation, and the brightness. It is quantified in terms of color spaces, such as L*a*b* or RGB, in terms of numerical values based on devices such as colorimeters or spectrophotometers.
