FAQs About NR145 Colorimeter
Because color perception depends on the following factors:
Light source - For example, incandescent lamps emit orange light, while fluorescent lamps emit cool white light. Therefore, placing an object near different light sources will result in different perceived colors.
Observed object - Different types of objects affect color perception differently. Examples include opaque objects, translucent objects, and transparent objects.
Observer's position - Each observer will describe colors differently based on the position of their eyes.
Different backgrounds - An object's color will appear duller against a light-colored background than against a dark-colored background. Different directions of light reflection from the object - Light reflected from different directions creates different color perceptions. This is particularly noticeable with metallic objects.
Different directions of light reflection from the object - Light reflected from different directions creates different color perceptions. This is particularly noticeable with metallic objects.
