Recreate as faithfully as possible the colors of images.

The ColorChecker® Classic chart was designed to ensure faithful and true-to-life reproduction of colors, making it possible for photographers to predict and control how colors looked, whatever the lighting. It is perfectly suited to professional and amateur photographers who engage in digital and silver photography.

The ColorChecker® Classic chart features a matrix patented with 24 squares, scientifically designed to represent various natural, chromatic, primary colors, as well as a greyscale. Several squares represent various natural colors, such as that of the human skin, foliage color, or blue sky. These squares – which illustrate actual colors and reflect the light just as in reality in all the parts of the visible spectrum – make it possible for you to recreate the colors of representative natural objects, under any lighting and with any color reproduction method. Each square is individually elaborated so as to create a pure, rich color.
