Colorimetersare sophisticated color measuring instruments that make "earthquake" measurements based on the passage of light through the three primary filters, red, green and blue, which simulate the way the human eye is sensitive to light. Tristimulus color measurements provide information about the amount of these three components present in the light reflected or transmitted by a product. This information can be transmitted to adjust the color components.

We understand by colorimetry the science or discipline that studies the measurement of colors and their perceptions, as well as the methods used for the quantification of color, or what is the same, the numerical values with which colors are measured.

Within colorimetry we find different devices that with their functionalities serve for measurement and quality control. These instruments become a crucial tool in sectors where fidelity in the production chain of colors is the basis for the business.

Colorimetersare any of the technological tools we use to identify colors and their nuances, with which we achieve a more precise and objective measurement of colors.

Utilities of a colorimeter:

In addition to using it to measure the colors of objects, colorimetersare also used to collect measurements of a color and make comparisons with other measurements collected. This option becomes very useful for different industries, such as those in which identical products are massively produced or in which parts are produced that will later be combined with other chromatically identical ones.

Among other uses, s colorimetersare commonly used for color control of printed materials (packaging, packaging, etc.), in plastic materials, metals, etc. Its use is also very standardized in sectors such as the formulation of inks, as well as in construction and decoration materials such as tiles and ceramics.

Operation of a colorimeter: Accurate color measurement

Generally, s colorimetersmeasure color based on three easily comparable variables and indispensable for the complete and accurate measurement of color. These variables are known as coordinates or tristimulus values.

The market for colorimeters and colorimetry

In the colorimetry market we find different instruments for color measurement.

It is also used by lacquer manufacturers, architects and designers to make color comparisons (for color charts, NCS, RAL, HKS or XYZ), or to serve as the basis for a subsequent mixing of lacquers, such as, for example, thicknesses of old layers in pieces, or in the development of a colorimeter that simulates the perception of the human eye.
