The paint testing equipment was developed for quality control and offers a high accuracy. When using the paint testing equipment, you can choose between different colour spaces (CIE L*a*b, CIE L*a*b*C*h). After a measurement with the paint testing equipment, the reading can be used as a reference value while other readings can be recorded as a sample and later be compared to the reference value easily. Useful for determining color difference, chromaticity index, color sample database management, and color difference cumulative analysis.
