Description
In professional measurement of colors in various surfaces of design models, there have been significant challenges posed by traditional color models that have made the accurate measurement and notation of colors difficult. This paper examines the use of colorimeters and spectrophotometers in accurate measurement of colors and of results obtained in coordinates within the various color spaces such as: CIE XYZ (Yxy), L*a*b*, L*C*h*, Hunter Lab, and Munsell. The paper starts by explaining the use of colorimeters in design, through three sensors calibrated in conformity with the sensitivity of human eye, hence obtaining the colors in three stimulus method. Furthermore, the paper explains the use spectrophotometers, which despite colorimeters has multiple sensors, hence as a more sophisticated instrument, gives a more thorough information regarding the colors of design models by means of SPD (Spectral Power Distribution).
