The color measurement theory is the quantification of the interaction of materials with light, either absorption, transmission, or reflection. It employs standard colour spaces (such as CIELAB) and devices (colorimeters, spectrophotometers) to code the visual colour into objective and reproducible data.

The color may be quantified in L*a*b* (CIELAB units), RGB values, CMYK (printing), and ΔE (color difference). Colorimetric assessment measures also apply spectral reflectance and absorbance (A), particularly in liquids and solutions.

 A gloss meter measures the amount of light reflected from a surface at a specific angle. It's commonly used to assess surface finishes such as paint, coatings, plastics, and paper for consistency, quality control, and visual appearance evaluation.

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.

The ΔE (Delta E) formula of the CIELAB color space is usually used to measure color difference. The difference is measured in a colorimeter or spectrophotometer to gauge the level of perceptibility of the difference between two samples in terms of L*a*b*.

Common sources like D65, TL84, and CWF mimic daylight, store, home, and fluorescent lighting, and are used to provide conditions for dependable color comparison.

Once ignited, the gauge will select the correct substrate mode. The probe should be placed flat on the coated surface. The thickness of the coating will show on the screen. Measurements should be taken on different areas of the surface to ensure accuracy.

A service is made up of tub replacement, light source recalibration, internal cleaning, verification of service and color certification retention so that all compliance color standards are retained. 

Gloss level is not given out in percentage but in gloss units (GU). In practice, however, 100 GU is considered 100 percent reflective. To contrast visually, the 20-40 GU is a low-gloss surface, and 85 or more is almost 100 percent mirror-like reflection.
