FAQs About  Multi-angle spectrophotometer

Many people might answer "with the human eye", but this is actually not comprehensive. The human eye cannot accurately distinguish the colors of similar objects. Furthermore, everyone's perception of color varies. Therefore, people have developed color measurement tools based on the CIE color system. 

Currently, there are two main types of commonly used colorimeters, as follows: 

Colorimeter - It is an ideal choice for quality control (QC) on production lines, used to detect color differences. 

Spectrophotometer - It is suitable for the development of color characteristics and color analysis in laboratories.

a. If this phenomenon occurred, it means the battery power is not enough. You need to charge the battery.

b. When charge the battery, please insert the battery to the instrument, and plug in the adapter to charge the battery. After 5 minutes, the instrument can be turned on.

c. If the instrument still cannot be turned on after charging 5 minutes, you can pull out the adapter and re-plug in to check it. Or repeat this operation.

d. If the instrument still cannot be turned on after charging 5 minutes, you can turn off the colorimeter and turn on it again to check it. Or repeat this operation.

e. If you have tried all the methods above but the colorimeter still cannot be turned on, please change the battery.

During color evaluation, maintaining consistent light sources and viewing conditions is critical. Standard viewing conditions vary depending on the object being evaluated, including factors such as brightness, illumination angle, and observer position. Accurate evaluation can be achieved by establishing a proper environment that meets these requirements.

In development and production sites with extremely high color requirements, such as the automotive and cosmetics industries, accurately reproducing colors is essential. Color evaluation helps determine whether the color matches the intended image or target color. It is the process of measuring color, analyzing its characteristics, and evaluating how well it aligns with a specific target color. 

color measurement and color evaluation

Visual Color Evaluation

Color differences are compared visually using standard light sources or reference colors (such as color cards). This method allows color confirmation under conditions close to natural light, making it ideal for color inspection in design and production processes. 

Instrumental Color Evaluation

Measurements are performed using a spectrophotometer or colorimeter. This method eliminates the subjective influence of the operator and is widely used for product quality control and industrial applications, enabling scientific quantification of color.


Color evaluation is widely used across industries such as product development and quality control departments in manufacturing. 

Typical applications include: 

  • Automotive Industry

    Used for quality evaluation of automotive paint, exterior parts, and interior components.

  • Coatings & Materials Industry

    Used to maintain and manage color accuracy for coatings, plastics, glass products, and more.

  • Cosmetics Industry

    Used to verify color consistency in products such as lipsticks and foundations.

  • Molded Products (Resin & Plastics)

    Used to evaluate color difference and uniformity of surface effects in finished products.

  • Furniture & Building Materials Industry

    Used to ensure color consistency in materials such as wood and plywood. Food & Pharmaceutical Industry Used to assess color consistency of food packaging and color differences in pharmaceutical capsules.

A colorimeter or spectrophotometer should be used to measure the color of a solution. The instrument directs light through the liquid and quantifies absorbance at certain wavelengths. The values obtained indicate the color intensity of the solution and, by default, the concentration of the solution.

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 colorimeter is a quick and inexpensive method to measure color and to control color in a material or solution. It is used to maintain color consistency during production and to check the chemical concentration. It also assists with the quality control of labs, food, textiles, and pharmaceuticals.
