The machine used to measure color is primarily called a colorimeter or spectrophotometer.
Spectrophotometer: The most common and precise type. It analyzes light reflected/transmitted by an object across the visible spectrum to quantify color accurately. A spectrophotometer can measure colors on smooth or matte surfaces, as well as textured, glossy, mirror-like surfaces, and special effect colors. It measures the reflected light of a sample at a fixed angle (e.g., 45˚) or captures light reflected at all angles to calculate color measurements that closely match what the human eye perceives. Additionally, similar to how humans flip a sample to view colors from different angles, a spectrophotometer is suitable for measuring a variety of materials and surface characteristics. Widely used in industries like paint, textiles, plastics, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, and printing.
Colorimeter: Also called photoelectric integrating colorimeter, a simpler, more cost-effective option. It measures color based on three primary colors (RGB) and is suitable for basic color matching needs. A photoelectric integrating colorimeter is a color measurement device based on the photoelectric integration principle. It directly measures the tristimulus values XYZ of an object's color using three color filters (red, green, blue) and silicon photocells as three sensors. The color measurement principle of this instrument imitates the human eye's mechanism of perceiving the three primary colors (red, green, blue). It corrects the relative spectral sensitivity of the detector through color filters to match the CIE-recommended spectral tristimulus value functions x(λ), y(λ), and z(λ).
Spectrocolorimeter: Combines the functions of spectrophotometers and colorimeters, offering both spectral data and color space values for comprehensive analysis.
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.
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:
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.
Our haze meters provide consistent and accurate data as per the requirements of ASTM D1003, ISO 13468, and JIS K7105. Due to the high precision, advanced optics, and automatic calibrations, haze meters produce repeatable and precise results for glass, films, and plastics while remaining simple to operate.

Color measurement methods involve visual approximation (against color charts), colorimetry (by means of filters and detectors), spectrophotometry (a more detailed spectral analysis), and image analysis by computer. These are color measurement methods that are applied in the laboratory, production, and quality assessment.
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 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*.
