Color Measurement

Many industries including cosmetics and textiles rely on their product having a consistent or specific color. Where NIR wavelength ranges are useful to identify chemicals, the Visible spectrum gives information about the color of a material. The human eye is sensitive to the approximate range 380-750 nm and it perceives color as a combination of red, green, and blue components. A hyperspectral camera can provide more information than the eye or an RGB camera by recording the complete visible spectrum of a material instead of condensing the information into these three values. From this data, one can calculate the L*a*b color coordinates or other color metrics that are useful for analysis.

Middleton Research provides laboratory services for sample measurements or custom hyperspectral equipment for your unique application. Please see the brochures below or contact us for further information.
