Expert guidance can simplify color measurement and help you utilize your instrumentation to its full potential. Understanding tristimulus color values can be overwhelming. Finding the support you need to use your color measurement tools correctly and efficiently will ensure that you are getting the best value for your investment. Well, not anymore! In this post, we will give a simple and straightforward explanation of tristimulus values and color measurement, plus provide resources that will help you choose the right instrumentation for your application needs. Understanding tristimulus values and the different geometric degrees and angles can be overwhelming, making instrument selection challenging. Companies purchase color measurement equipment out of necessity and then find themselves using the bare minimum applications for the job. Spectrophotometers are a commonly used tool in nearly every industry, yet this valuable technology is often under-utilized.
