The colour meter is the reference instrument for precisely identifying any colour on an existing surface. Thanks to its digital measurement technology in the CIELAB colour space, which reproduces human eye perception, this professional tool guarantees 99% shade recognition. Ideal for professional painters who need to reproduce an exact colour or for discerning homeowners who wish to match a paint to a decorative element, this colour meter measures the difference between the analysed sample and the references in its integrated palette.
For optimal measurement, position the colour meter flat against the sample to be analysed. The surface must be clean, dry, and representative of the colour sought. Avoid areas with defects, stains, or colour variations. The device operates independently: no connection needed for your on-site readings.
The colour meter numerically defines the colour in the CIELAB colour space, which accounts for human vision, then calculates the deviation from the set references. The integrated RAL classic palette covers the most common shades, whilst optional manufacturer palettes allow direct identification of references from professional paint ranges. This functionality eliminates approximations and guarantees a paint order perfectly suited to your needs.
Its compact and ergonomic design, combined with professional build quality, makes it a durable tool for intensive use. Calibration standards ensure measurement accuracy over time, even after extensive on-site applications.

On renovation sites in Belgium, a colour meter quickly becomes essential for painters working on historic or listed buildings. Always take multiple readings at different locations on the same surface to account for variations caused by aging or exposure. For homeowners wishing to reproduce an exact colour, take the measurement in an area with minimal exposure to natural light, as UV radiation can alter the original tint over time.
The colour meter works on very small samples, allowing you to measure even tiny paint fragments. The measurement area corresponds to the surface covered by the light-emitting diodes at 45°.
CIELAB colour space is an international system for colour definition that accounts for how the human eye actually perceives tints. It ensures objective and reproducible measurement, independent of lighting conditions during analysis.
The device is compatible with a wide range of professional colour charts. It measures the difference between your sample and the reference values stored in the device, allowing you to identify the closest match in your chosen system.
The colour meter works on opaque and matt surfaces. For reliable results, the surface must be clean, dry and flat. Highly textured or glossy surfaces may affect measurement accuracy.
