FAQs About  Main Instruments

D/8°and 45°/0°are two kinds of illumination geometry with different optical geometry design. D/8°illumination geometry is more widely used for the color comparison and measurement of high-gloss materials; 45°/0°illumination geometry is mainly used in printing and packaging industries. 

You can choose a colorimters depending on the substrate you are measuring the color of, whether it is opaque, translucent or transparent. In short, you can consider the following factors for choosing the right 3NH colorimeter for your needs: Sample Opacity, Physical Form, Optical Properties needed, Measurement Methods required, Scales and Indices needed, Instrument Standards Conformance (ASTM/ISO/Other), Instrument Geometry, Instrument Performance, Location (laboratory, portability, in-process) and Sample Handling requirements.

By systematically addressing these factors, you can select a colorimeter that optimizes accuracy, efficiency, and value for your specific application.Learn more from our ultimate guide on colorimeter selection. If unsure, consult the 3NH manufacturer for personalized recommendations based on your sample and workflow.


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.

All deliver stable spectral data, minimal metamerism, and perfect batch-to-batch consistency — critical for paint matching.


Smooth and uniform surfaces with a large amount of reflected light directly result in high gloss. Some of the factors are the smoothness of the surface, the type of paint that is being used, the thickness of the coating, and curing. The lesser the surface irregularities, the greater the gloss.


A colorimeter measures the amount of light and the wavelength that is absorbed by a solution. It is a sign that colored compounds are present and the level of their concentration. It is applied in the laboratory and industry to check the concentrations of chemicals, the color of products, and purity.
