Can you imagine your daily life without rubber gloves? They offer protection and are available in all colors of the rainbow.
They not only have to be leak and tear proof, but also the color has to match. Therefore, color difference, tinting strength as well as opacity are controlled.
Thus, it will not matter which glove the customer will wear, the pair will always match. Not an easy task!
Experience our new technical paper explaining the benefits of standardized visual color evaluation.
Technical terms like “Correlated Color Temperature”, Spectral Power Distribution” and especially “Metamerism Index Mivis” are discussed and explained with practical examples.
Find out how the quality of the daylight in a light booth is objectively rated compared to the CIE defined daylight D65.

The favorite color of most people, however hardly common among animals and plants. It is very difficult to produce artificially. Consequently, scientists are eagerly working on creating new blue pigments.
Part 1: In Search of Blue
Can we really be sure where the color blue has its origin? Already for the Egyptians it was a tedious process and this has not changed until today despite the latest achievements.

Part 2: The Impossible Flower
Since romanticism the blue flower has been a symbol for longing and the unreachable. No matter what has been tried, the perfect blue flower is still far away.
NASA has launched two BYK Instruments spectrophotometers of type spectro-guide to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard Orbital Vehicle 103 (Shuttle Discovery).
The spectro-guide and the Discovery – a strong team to go where no color spectrophotometer has gone before!
It all started with LW and SW in the early 1990s. Today BYK Instruments´ well-known wave-scan analyzes waviness intensity with 5 wavelength ranges and evaluates the brilliance of the surface. Thus, the surface appearance can be analyzed and optimized based on material and / or process parameters. To keep it simple many OEMs developed their own 1- or 2-dimensional scales based on visual studies.
The latest investigation took place at VW / Audi and resulted in the evaluation of the optical profile using Fast Fourier Transformation. This new method determines one or two dominant waviness sizes and their intensity level
