Color

Evaluating color under the proper lighting helps adequately identify color variations and metameric effects that can be costly if not discovered until after production
Formula Guide includes 1,867 total colors and is our most commonly used guide in the world for brand guidelines and spot color printing
Color Guide illustrates all 2,310 of the Fashion, Home & Interiors colors as a lacquer coating on paper and our most affordable and portable offering in the FHI system.
Interchanging lamps is simple and allows for both dedicated daylight sources best used for evaluating graphics and printed works (D50) as well as all other materials (D65)
Lighting Indicator stickers tell you at a glance whether your ambient lighting conditions are giving you an accurate visual read of your color. Two light-sensitive patches react to your viewing illumination, changing color under different lighting temperatures. Under proper lighting, the two patches will appear to match. If the light is not in the proper range, the two patches will appear different.
Tolerance aim <2dE to our master standard data
