Colour Standards

For many industries colour control is an essential part of the production process. It helps to ensure the final product conforms to the customer/ consumer expectation.

Accurate colour measurement is the key to this process. Spectromatch colour standards enable you to check the performance of your instruments and to perform quick visual evaluations.

Spectromatch produces colour standards from silicones. We use silicones to mimic the material in your control process. This enables us to easily reproduce the properties of your product whether it is a moulded plate, baked bread or liquid tea.

Our colour standards will fit into your process in exactly the way you require. If you measure your material through glass we will supply our standards in the same way.

All our standards are very stable and will enable you to;

• Improve inter-instrument agreement across manufacturing plants
• Improve your quality control procedures
• Detect instrumental errors
• Reduce the number of off-shade batches

Our expertise in measurement of translucent materials ensures that our colour standards will always match both visually and instrumentally.

How does the process work?

Depending on your material and process, a colour science technician will visit to ensure that we understand exactly your requirements.

A sample match will be produced based on a sample provided by you. We will give you a report on our findings, instrumental results and what, if any, further work needs to be done to successfully fulfil the requirements.

At this stage we will give you a quotation for the job and the timeframe required to manufacture the standards. Each colour standard comes with a certificate of conformity.

We have successfully produced colour standards for food, beverage and cosmetic manufacturing companies.
