 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.

The color measurement test applies a colorimeter or spectrophotometer to evaluate the way a sample reflects or absorbs light. It is given in objective color values (L*a*b*, RGB, or absorbance) and is usually contrasted to a standard in quality control or compliance.

A colorimeter or spectrophotometer should be used to measure the color of a solution. The instrument directs light through the liquid and quantifies absorbance at certain wavelengths. The values obtained indicate the color intensity of the solution and, by default, the concentration of the solution.

When using a Pantone light box, each sample should be positioned flat and nearby the other samples, but not overlapping. Each one should also be in the middle of the light box, and the surfaces of the light box should be clean and non-reflective.


Inconsistent results from a haze meter can stem from issues like calibration, dusty haze meter optics, inadequate power supply, and improper measurement technique. If you have any questions, you can contact our Haze measurement experts


The principle of colorimetry is the law of Beer-Lambert, which says that the intensity of light absorbed by a colored solution is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing species and the path length. It measures the extent of light that is absorbed at certain wavelengths.


The color of chemical products is measured by using a colorimeter or spectrophotometer. The instruments measure the amount of light that gets absorbed or reflected by a substance. It may be used to determine concentration, purity, or compliance with product standards.

The main instruments used to detect color are spectrophotometers and colorimeters (including photoelectric integrating colorimeters). 

Spectrophotometer: High-precision option. It analyzes the full visible light spectrum to measure color accurately. Suitable for complex scenarios like textured surfaces, special effect colors, or batch consistency checks in industries such as paint and coatings. 

Colorimeter (Photoelectric Integrating Colorimeter): Cost-effective and portable. It uses RGB filters to measure tristimulus values directly. Ideal for quick color difference detection in simple applications. Key Selection Tip Choose based on accuracy needs: use a spectrophotometer for high-precision color measurement, and a colorimeter for fast, basic color difference checks.
