ColorChecker!

ColorChecker targets are predictable standards that allow you to:

reproduction

error color adjustments

lighting balance

• Obtain instant gray balance

Professional photographers rely on X-Rite ColorChecker brand test targets to ensure accurate color reproduction whether working in a digital workflow or with traditional film.

Balance your color and optimize your lighting

The Original ColorChecker Standard

The 24-color array provides a known reference for accurate reproduction of true-to-life images in any medium, under any illumination. Each of the 24 colors represents the actual color of natural objects such as blue sky, skin tones, and foliage. And each color reflects light just like its real-world counterpart.

Custom White Balance

The ColorChecker Custom White Balance Chart delivers absolutely accurate white reproduction under any lighting condition. Most white balance targets aren’t neutral and could cause colors to shift under different lighting conditions. The Custom White Balance Chart is an absolute neutral white reference, so it prevents the shifting of colors.

3-Step Gray Scale

The ColorChecker 3-Step Gray Scale lets you balance your images, plus simplifies the task of balancing your studio lighting. A white, 18% gray and a black target all on a single card make color adjustments faster and easier with your photo processing software.
