Datacolor ColorReader is a convenient and precise color meter for professionals who need quick and reliable color identification. The device offers over 92% first-try accuracy, saving time and effort in color matching. Its lightweight and portable design makes it easy to take to the job site or whenever inspiration strikes.
Accurate Color Measurement
ColorReader uses an advanced optical lens and six high-CRI white LEDs that together ensure even and accurate color illumination. You quickly get color matches for the most common paint brands as well as measurement data such as Delta E, CIE Lab, RGB, Hex, CMYK, LRV, and LCH. The device also displays RAL standards.
Color Storage and Sharing
You can save your favorite colors, name them for easy retrieval, and share them directly from your phone, for example, with a paint store or friends. The app also helps create color palettes and offers suggestions for complementary, triadic, analogous, and monochromatic palettes.
Additional Features and Usage
ColorReader includes a calibration tile integrated into the device’s protective cap. The battery lasts for over 300 measurements on a single charge, and the charging status indicator easily shows the battery level. The device is also suitable for quality control, where you can set a color standard and compare new measurements against it.
