Color evaluation boxes as a photographic tool

The color of a product is commonly one of the first aspects noticed by any customer, being in many cases the determining factor for making a purchase. For this reason, it is vital to pay close attention to the colors of your products, be they clothes, paintings or even photographs. Ensuring that the product is of high quality and free of metamerism is essential, being metamerism the color change to different illuminations. An effective way to ensure that this happens is through the use of color evaluation boxes.

Color evaluation boxes can be used in different industries, from laboratories or automotive industries, to photography, to ensure that colors are high quality. In the field of photography they are especially useful since it is extremely important that there is no color change in the pieces with regard to the different light sources to which the photographs are exposed.

A color evaluation cabinet measures the variation that exists in the color of a product when exposed to different lights. Therefore, it must be equipped with a correct system of lamps for visual analysis of plastics, fabrics, paintings or photos. By checking the colors under various light sources and obtaining that there is no variation, you can say that the product is high quality.

Color Evaluation Boxes 

A color evaluation box is a particularly useful tool that allows the visual assessment of color under different controlled light conditions, without interference from the external light. These equipment ensure that the evaluation and visualization of the color in the product is carried out consistently and effectively, without the natural or artificial light of the enclosure interfering. The operation of these equipment is based on the following aspects:

  • The equipment has a large viewing area.
  • It is equipped with several lamps of different lights in order to detect the metamerism.
  • The sample must pass through the different light sources to make sure there is no difference.
  • Different light sources should include daylight, white light, tungsten filament, fluorescent triphosphorus light, and ultraviolet black light.
  • This whole process helps measure the color of the sample being tested.

Color evaluation boxes in photography 

Color evaluation boxes are used in many industries in order to make a visual assessment of the colors of a product. These devices are perfect in all areas where it is necessary to maintain the quality and reliability of the color. Color evaluation cabinets allow the user to view the sample under different light sources, such as artificial light, filament light and even ultraviolet light. One of the fields where these devices are used is photography.

The colors of the photographic samples are a very important aspect that define their quality and their beauty, so that changes of hue due to the effect of light, that is, the effect of metamerism, would detract from the beauty of the photographs. Therefore it is important to evaluate the parts in these equipment, as with them you can evaluate the color to different light sources and choose the most accepted and accurate option to expose. In the rooms where the photographs are exposed there are usually different light sources around and that the piece looks different depending on the tone of light is not acceptable, here lies the importance of color evaluation boxes.
