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.


3nh Spectrophotometers for Paint Formulation 

For paint formulation accuracy, the 3NH top spectrophotometers prioritize high spectral resolution, excellent repeatability, superior inter-instrument agreement (IIA), d/8° integrating sphere design, and compatibility with advanced formulation software. Below are the leading models

  1. 3nh TS8560 Premium Benchtop Spectrophotometer  (Lab & R&D – Highest Accuracy)

    High precision with d/8° integrating sphere, excellent repeatability and inter-instrument agreement. Ideal for laboratory color analysis, accurate paint formulation and strict quality control. Perfect for opaque and translucent paints. Pairs seamlessly with Pecolor software for precise recipe calculation.

  2. Best for: High-end industrial coatings, R&D, and demanding formulation labs, High-volume paint labs, global color standardization

  3. 3nh TS7700 Portable Spectrophotometer

    Compact and easy to operate, supports SCI/SCE measurement. Perfect for on-site color matching, production line inspection and daily paint tinting control. Seamlessly connects to PeColor for on-the-go formulation, rugged, easy-to-use, designed for high-throughput retail environments.

  4. Best for: Retail paint stores, fast, accurate counter matching, On-site tinting, production line checks

  5. 3nh MS3008 Multi-angle Spectrophotometer

    Professional for metallic, pearlescent and special-effect paints. Captures angular color variation to meet high-end automotive and coating formulation requirements. Captures complex light behavior for perfect effect-paint matches.

  6. Best for: Automotive, specialty coatings


All these instruments deliver superior performance by measuring precise spectral data, which is the foundation for accurate, repeatable, and cost-saving paint formulation.

If there is uneven lighting, color shifts, and the light is not as bright as it was before, your lamps might have to be replaced. Recent light boxes used with Pantone, as well as Datacolor LightBooths, have usage timers that tell how long before a lamp needs to be replaced.


Yes, we can offer Spectrodensitometer quality certification issued by our lab free of charge, or issued by third-party international inspection Organizations with extra charge, please contact us for confirmation.

D/8° and 45°/0° are two different illumination methods with distinct optical geometries. The D/8° illumination is suitable for general industries, and delivers better performance in color difference comparison and color measurement especially for high-gloss products. For the packaging and printing industry, the 45°/0° illumination is recommended.

D/8° (Diffuse / 8° viewing)

Recommended for:
  • Plastic, paint, ink, ceramic, textile, coating

  • Samples with metallic luster, pearlescent, glitter, or texture

  • Situations requiring consistent data with laboratory spectrophotometers

  • Applications needing SCI (including specular reflection) / SCE (excluding specular reflection) switching


45°/0° (45° annular illumination / 0° viewing)

Recommended for:
  • Printing, packaging, paper, ink, matte non-metallic materials

  • Products focusing on human eye direct visual matching

  • Standard color matching in printing & packaging industry


Simple Selection Guide

  • With metallic/pearlescent/glitter effect → choose D/8°

  • Printing, paper, packaging, matte products → choose 45°/0°

  • Want universal use for multiple materials → choose D/8°


 A spectrophotometer illuminates a sample with light or passes light through it and records the reflected or transmitted light over the wavelength range. It transforms this data into color coordinates (such as L*a*b*), allowing accurate color assessment as well as color comparison to standards.
