Now tell me which one it was…

If you chose this swatch,you are right!

Look at this color for a few seconds…

Why measure color? …Poor color memory



Do the arrows right and left appear to be the same color?

Why measure color? …Simultaneous Contrast


Is the green on the left the same as the green on the right?

Why measure color? …Chameleon Effect


Optical Illusions


Why measure color?...Field of view


Optical Illusions

Cha llenges in Cosmetic sthe nature of these products in that they are commonly

liquid, paste or powdered form.

measuring these products is to place the sample in a cuvette or petri dish and measuring through the glass or plastic using a c ontac t based spec trophotometer.

This p roc ess does not p rovide da ta that correlates with what the human eye sees, what the c onsumer sees in the finished product


• Contac ting these samp les c ontamina tes the instrument, whic h c an result in c ostly instrument ma intenanc e and repa ir.

• measure the samp le through the g lass or p lastic :

• The g lass or p lastic ba rrier introduc es a “ dep th of fie ld ” va riab le between the instrument and the samp le. This bec omes an error sourc e tha t must be addressed

• This g lass or p lastic ba rrier a lso introduc es a first surfac e and sec ond surfac e reflec tion error (typ ic a lly 4% per surfac e) tha t must be ac c ounted for.

• The g lass or p lastic ba rrier a llows unwanted amb ient light to “ p ipe” into the measurement a rea . This too, is a potentia l sourc e of error

Challenges in Cosmetics


So, measuring through a transparent barrier will not correlate to the eyes natural response to the color in its natural form

The only way to truly measure a color and get a colorimetric result that correlates to the human eye is to measure the sample in its natural form, without contacting the sample, using 45 degree geometry!

Challenges in Cosmetics
