The color meter PCE-CSM 3 was developed for quality control and offers a very high accuracy. When using the color meter, you can choose between different color spaces (CIE L*a*b*C*h, CIE L*a*b*). After a measurement with the color meter, 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.
