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.

Ensure the source, viewing angle, and background are all neutral and standardized, and the samples are clean, and positioned for a side-by-side comparison under each light condition.

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.

L*a*b* is an L*a*b* color space. The L* is a measure of lightness (as 0 = black, 100 = white), a* indicates the green to red axis, and b* indicates the blue to yellow axis. It is also common in color measurement in terms of precision and reliability.

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 -96 to +127. Positive values represent red tones, while negative values represent green tones.
B (Yellow-Blue Axis): Ranges from approximately -96 to +127. Positive values represent yellow tones, while negative values represent blue tones.

Always a pre-production sample before mass production; Always final Inspection before shipment; 

The various colors can be measured by the way a surface reflects, absorbs, or transmits light at different wavelengths. These responses may be measured using instruments such as colorimeters or spectrophotometers to give numeric values in a standardized color space such as L *a*b*.

To extend the life of a haze meter, keep the instrument dust-free and clean, regularly calibrate it, and control for a stable dry storage. For better results, avoid letting the optics dry, and leave the meters under sunlight. For optimal performance, have the meter professionally serviced once a year.

Yes. Ultrasonic coating thickness gauges can pinpoint layers within a multi-coat system. Users can examine the separate thicknesses of a primer, base coat, and clear coat. In contrast, magnetic and eddy current gauges usually measure the overall thickness of the coating.
