FAQs About  ISO Test Charts

In industrial production and quality control, color consistency is one of the core elements determining product quality. Whether it is the metallic paint for automobile coating, the dyeing effect of textile fabrics, or the ink matching in packaging and printing, subtle color deviations may lead to cost waste or damage to brand image.

The LAB color space defines colors with a three-dimensional model:

  1. Lightness (L): It indicates the lightness or darkness of a color, ranging from 0 (pure black) to 100 (pure white).

  2. Hue and Saturation (a and b):

    • The a-axis represents the red-green tendency, with positive values leaning towards red and negative values leaning towards green;

    • The b-axis represents the yellow-blue tendency, with positive values leaning towards yellow and negative values leaning towards blue.

It is a globally recognized standard and supported by most modern color measurement equipment. Color is quantitatively analyzed by measuring Lab values with instruments.


Usually you will find haze and transmittance standards of ASTM D1003, ISO 13468, & JIS K7105.


A colorimeter is a scientific instrument used to measure and analyze the color characteristics of objects or materials. It quantifies color by evaluating specific parameters related to human visual perception and standardized color spaces.

Gloss paint can be identified by visual inspection and using a gloss meter. The high gloss paints are shiny and reflective like a mirror, satin or eggshell has a soft sheen, whereas the matte paint is non-reflective with very little or no reflection.


A spectrophotometer measures the full visible color spectrum (typically 400–700 nm). It offers significantly higher precision and enables detailed evaluations – including spectral curves, ΔE values, and color distance measurements. It is the preferred choice for demanding applications in labs or color development environments. learn more..

The core difference between a colorimeter and a spectrophotometer lies in their light measurement methods. A colorimeter measures color values based on the tristimulus method (e.g. LAB or RGB) and compares the sample to a reference. It's ideal for quick, repeatable measurements under consistent conditions – such as in production or incoming goods control.

A colorimeter is used to measure the intensity of color of a solution by measuring its absorbance at selected wavelengths of light. It is widely applied in chemistry, food, pharmaceuticals, and quality control to determine concentration, track color changes, or product uniformity.
