The ColorChecker target is an array of 24 scientifically formulated colours that has been the leading industry colour reference target for more than 40 years. It is designed to deliver true-to-life colour reproduction so that photographers and filmmakers can predict and control how colour will look under any illumination. Each of the 24 colours found on a ColorChecker target represents the actual colour of natural objects, such as human skin tone, foliage and blue sky, and reflects light just like its real-world counterpart. Since these colours exemplify the colour of their counterparts in the natural world and reflect light the same way in all parts of the visible spectrum, the squares will match the colours of representative samples of natural objects under any illumination, and with any colour reproduction process. Each solid patch is formulated individually to produce a pure, flat, rich colour.ColorChecker targets have been used by Colour perfectionists for the past decade to create custom DNG profiles for Adobe Lightroom® and Photoshop® workflows. You can also build custom ICC camera profiles for use in Capture One® (or other ICC compatible software) when you combine ColorChecker targets with Calibrite ColorChecker Camera Calibration software. You’ll get accurate colour at capture based on specific lighting, camera and lens combination during any given shoot, saving valuable time in edit.Taking advantage of a ColorChecker target is easy. Simply include the ColorChecker in your photo or video capture and then later, while editing use it to compare, measure and analyze differences in color reproduction in any color rendition system.The ColorChecker can help you make global corrections based on accurate information. If you shoot a large number of images that all require the same color correction, you know that editing a few key photos and applying your changes can sometimes change colors you didn’t intend to be changed. A shot of the ColorChecker captured under the same lighting as your images will provide a point of reference, so you can see exactly how changes will affect the rest of your colors before you apply them.This objective standard will help you avoid costly mistakes and trial-and-error color adjustments while editing your images or color grading.

Jacob ★★★★★

The 24 color patches are remarkably consistent, making post-processing skin tones much faster. I've been using it in mixed lighting and the neutral gray patch alone has saved me from color-casting headaches.

Charlotte R. ★★★★★

The 24 swatches are dead-on consistent, and I love that it’s built to last—no warping after a month in my camera bag. My skin tones finally look natural in mixed lighting, which is all I wanted.

Chloe ★★★★★

I’ve been using this target to nail white balance in tricky mixed lighting, and the difference in skin tones is night and day compared to before. The fact that it’s been the industry reference for 40 years gives me confidence it’s not some trendy gadget. Definitely money well spent for consistent co
