3nh is a globally recognized pioneer for innovations of color measurement and imaging technology. Our portable colorimeters, desktop colorimeters, and digitally precise testers reflect a lot of engineering and design focused on the user.
Every Three NH colorimeters have precise and advanced colorimetric geometric design for accurate and stable measurements. They do have automatic calibration.
All our models have smart touch screens, multilingual options, and PC setups. All data can be exported and analyzed and compared using ThreeNH software for all archived quality documentation and trend analysis.
From the laboratory to the production line, ThreeNH offers models specifically designed for your needs, which can be handheld, benchtop, or multifunctional.
Our colorimeters are protected with industrial color protective housings and impact modified enclosure materials to withstand industrial colorimeter use, while ergonomics are maintained sophisticatedly. Field use is easy too, because of their low weight and small size.
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:
Lightness (L): It indicates the lightness or darkness of a color, ranging from 0 (pure black) to 100 (pure white).
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.
Colors look different under various lights mainly because of metamerism—a phenomenon where two colors that match under one light source fail to match under another, caused by differences in the spectral composition of light.
Different lighting varies the color perception of objects. Warm light, like that from incandescent bulbs, tends to make colors more yellow, while daylight presents a bluish tint. Our color vision system plays a compensating role using a mechanism called color constancy.
Every light source emits light with a unique "spectral fingerprint" (i.e., the range and intensity of wavelengths it contains). This directly affects how an object’s surface reflects light and how our eyes perceive its color.
Color is measured using devices such as colorimeters, spectrophotometers, and spectroradiometers. Colorimeters are easier and good for simple color quality tests. Whereas spectrophotometers yield detailed spectral information. Hence, suitable for laboratories and industries.
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.
You can choose a colorimters depending on the substrate you are measuring the color of, whether it is opaque, translucent or transparent. In short, you can consider the following factors for choosing the right 3NH colorimeter for your needs: Sample Opacity, Physical Form, Optical Properties needed, Measurement Methods required, Scales and Indices needed, Instrument Standards Conformance (ASTM/ISO/Other), Instrument Geometry, Instrument Performance, Location (laboratory, portability, in-process) and Sample Handling requirements.
By systematically addressing these factors, you can select a colorimeter that optimizes accuracy, efficiency, and value for your specific application.Learn more from our ultimate guide on colorimeter selection. If unsure, consult the 3NH manufacturer for personalized recommendations based on your sample and workflow.
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.
Threenh colorimters are used across various industries to measure, analyze, and control color accuracy and consistency:
Food and Beverages: Monitor color quality in food products to meet industry standards.
Plastics and Polymers: Ensure color uniformity in plastic components (e.g., casings, buttons, panels) during manufacturing.
Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals,Cosmetics: Industry-specific accessories to attain the highest safety protocols, Ensure uniform color in pharmaceutical products for quality and brand recognition;Develop and match colors for cosmetics (e.g., lipsticks, creams, powders) and ensure batch consistency.
Textiles and Apparel: Monitor color consistency in fabrics during dyeing, printing, or finishing processes; ensure color consistency in fabrics and garments.
Building materials, Paints, and Coatings: Detect color deviations in coatings on metal, wood, or plastic surfaces (e.g., automotive paints, furniture finishes). Maintain color accuracy in building materials, paints, and coatings.
Printing and Packaging: Validate color accuracy in printed materials (e.g., brochures, labels, packaging) against design proofs, maintain consistency across different printing technologies.
By addressing color-related quality control challenges, 3NH colorimeters help industries maintain brand consistency, meet regulatory standards, and enhance customer satisfaction.
High Measurement Accuracy and Stability: Low ΔE fluctuation (e.g., NH300: ΔE < 0.07; NR10QC: ΔE ≤ 0.03 short-term repeatability); Reliable sensors (CMOS dual-beam/silicon photodiode) and long-lasting light sources (1.6M–3M measurements over 5 years).
