Colorimetry

Colorimetry is the science of measuring colors, particularly in relation to light and how it interacts with materials. It involves quantifying colors based on how they are perceived by the human eye and can be used to describe the properties of various light sources and surfaces. By using specific measurements, colorimetry helps in reproducing colors accurately across different devices, including screens and printers. This field is important in industries such as photography, design, and quality control, ensuring that colors appear consistent and true to the original source.
