X-Rite XRIT253 Mini ColorChecker Classic 24 Colors Chart Card.
The
Mini ColorChecker® is a smaller version of the ColorChecker® target.
Thanks to the handy format you can always have it with you. Excellent
for spontaneous shots on the go and for very small objects!
ColorChecker is a target with 24 scientifically
determined colors in a checkerboard pattern. The natural colors
correspond to natural objects, such as the skin, leaves or the blue of
the sky. Not only the colors, but also the reflection curves of these
color fields almost correspond to their natural counterparts and thus
reflect the incident light in the same way. The color fields therefore
also correspond to the natural objects under a great variety of lighting
and on different substrates.
Comparison Standard
With
ColorChecker you can objectively assess colors and color balance
without having to rely on your feeling. It is an excellent standard for
comparing, measuring, and analyzing color differences in color
reproduction, and can avoid costly mistakes in a variety of processes.
