The YE083 is designed for the evaluation of the halftone reproduction of an electronic camera. Two 11-graduated counter current gray scales are arranged on a gray background(D=0.62) . The gray scales being graduated logarithmically (gamma = 0.45).The output signal of an optimal gamma-corrected camera yields two 11-graduated counter current linear step signals. The contrast range of the gray scale is 40:1.

The values of the 11-graduated gray scale are as follows:

Step Density Reflectance in %
1 0.05 89
2 0.13 74
3 0.22 60
4 0.32 48
5 0.43 37
6 0.55 28
7 0.69 20
8 0.86 14
9 1.06 9
10 1.31 5
11 1.65 2

The density of the white field between the gray scale is D=0.05 (reflectance = 89%).

FAQs About  Grayscale Charts

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.

Colorimeters have fixed wavelength filters and LEDs; it is less precise and simpler. Monochromators are applied to spectrophotometers, which scan a spectrum of wavelengths. Giving more detailed spectral information. Spectrophotometers are more sensitive and flexible in complicated analyses.


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.

For accurate results, install a clean and well temperature-regulated booth that is also sheltered from reflective surfaces and direct sunlight. Ambient light in the booth and the surrounding area from where the light is being viewed should not mix.


Use our 3nh company approved light. Replace all of the same type together and recalibrate to keep consistent color rendering. We usually do not recommend customers to modify it themselves, as this can affect the accuracy of the color and cause unnecessary losses


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.
