Haze captures the scattering of light, transmittance measures the light that passes through a said material.


Because color perception depends on the following factors: 

Light source - For example, incandescent lamps emit orange light, while fluorescent lamps emit cool white light. Therefore, placing an object near different light sources will result in different perceived colors. 

Observed object - Different types of objects affect color perception differently. Examples include opaque objects, translucent objects, and transparent objects. 

Observer's position - Each observer will describe colors differently based on the position of their eyes. 

Different backgrounds - An object's color will appear duller against a light-colored background than against a dark-colored background. Different directions of light reflection from the object - Light reflected from different directions creates different color perceptions. This is particularly noticeable with metallic objects.

Different directions of light reflection from the object - Light reflected from different directions creates different color perceptions. This is particularly noticeable with metallic objects.

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.


When using a Pantone light box, each sample should be positioned flat and nearby the other samples, but not overlapping. Each one should also be in the middle of the light box, and the surfaces of the light box should be clean and non-reflective.


Different types of substrates require different kinds of digital gauges. Magnetic gauges are for ferrous metals, eddy current gauges are for non-ferrous metals and ultrasonic gauges are for any non-metal composites like plastics. Careful selection of a gauge is the most important factor for obtaining accurate measurements.  


 The five common gloss levels are:

1. Flat/Matte (0–10 GU)

2. Eggshell (10–25 GU)

3. Satin (26–40 GU)

4. Semi-gloss (41–70 GU)

High Gloss (71–100+ GU)
These levels vary slightly depending on industry and standards used.
