## Description

Datacolor ColorReader: Colour measuring device for digital colour determination, compatible with over 20 brand colour fans from RAL, Farrow & Ball, Sikkens, Valspar, Rust-Oleum (approx. 20000 colours)

## Features

- Capture colour inspiration anywhere, then scan the colour you want to match from a flat, solid surface, working with the ColorReader app (iPhone or Android) for accurate colour results
- Provides the top 3 colour matches from the most popular paint brand fandecks (e.g.: RAL, Farrow & Ball, Brillux, Schöner Wohnen, Valspar) and will also find similar colours and alternative colour schemes from 18,000 colour options. Note: brands available may vary by country.
- COLOUR ACCURACY TIPS: Flat, smooth, single-coloured surfaces net the most accurate colour-matching results. High sheen, textured or metallic surfaces can affect colour accuracy. Place device flat on surface to be measured. Due to variances in display calibrations, actual colours may vary from those on screen. Reasons for colour measurement discrepancies: Not specifying paint brands to match or chipped, faded, dirty, weathered paint on wall surface (Note: spot touch-ups are not recommended).
- Save colour matches, coordinate colours, create colour palettes and share them with friends, family, contractors, your paint store – anyone!
- Colour matches are precisely defined in CIELAB, RGB and HEX colour values for easy integration into your digital design workflow and conversion for example to Pantone colours

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to scan various human face areas to create paint colours for portraits- will this do that ?**
A: I don't think it would be as accurate as it is for solid items as it bounces light off the subject and skin may be a bit too translucent to give a surface reading

**Q: Can i get good good match with Dulux paint as well ?**
A: Just supply the paint store with either NCS or RAL code and they should be able to mix the paint.

**Q: Wil this scan Dulux paint**
A: It will scan Dulux paint, however it doesn't identify the specific Dulux paint colour on the app.

**Q: What is the difference between the colourreader pro and the cheaper colourreader? thanks**
A: Believe it’s to do with the licenses for colour charts / profiles which is more limited on the non Pro version 

Works well but not perfectly- but we find it very useful professionally
