FAQs About  Main Instruments

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.

An inappropriate viewing angle may lead to reflections or color shifts in the light. The correct angle of 45 or 0 will provide the real color of the assessment without the distraction of glare.

The gloss scale is normally measured against the scale of 0 to 100 gloss units (GU). The scale is zero at matte and 100 at a mirror. Other very smooth surfaces can be over 100 GU at lower angles, such as 20°.


A spectrophotometer and colorimeter are certain instruments used by scientists to measure color by quantifying reflected or transmitted light. The results are presented in color spaces, such as L*a*b*, RGB, or XYZ. This enables the accuracy of comparison and tracking of the changes in color in chemical or material research.

The LAB color space defines colors in a three-dimensional model: Lightness (L), red–green axis (a), and blue–yellow axis (b). It's a globally recognized standard supported by most modern color measuring devices. CIELAB is a standardized, device-independent system designed to map all visible colors that the human eye can perceive.

The LAB color space uses three values to define any color, each representing a specific dimension:


L (Lightness): Ranges from 0 to 100. It measures the brightness of the color, where 0 is pure black and 100 is pure white.
A (Red-Green Axis): Ranges from approximately -128 to +127. Positive values represent red tones, while negative values represent green tones.
B (Yellow-Blue Axis): Ranges from approximately -128 to +127. Positive values represent yellow tones, while negative values represent blue tones.


a. Users must specify Standard File Name, Sample File Name and Sample Database File Name when first use.

b.Standard File is use to store standard measurement data. Sample File is used to store sample measurement data. Sample Database File is used to store the measured data exported from sample records.
