Color measurement

Color measurement refers to the process of quantifying and analyzing colors so they can be accurately reproduced, compared, or communicated. This is often done using specialized instruments like spectrophotometers, which capture light reflected from surfaces and provide numerical data about the color. The data can be represented in different color spaces, such as RGB or CMYK, which help in various applications, from art and design to manufacturing and quality control. Understanding color measurement ensures consistency in product appearance and helps maintain quality across different materials and lighting conditions.
