proof.de Metamerism Card

Color Temperature Indicator

The colors of modern Digital Proofs are strongly dependent on the surrounding Light (Metamerism). Therefore it is important, that proofs and prints are always viewed under D50 Normlight with a Color Temperature of 5000 Kelvin. Using another light source with wrong color temperature or wrong spectral values, an assessment makes no sense. With the color temperature indicator can be easily detected if the light source is the standard D50 light, and wether an color judgement is correct.

Viewed in a standard color temperature of 5000 Kelvin, all surfaces have the same olive color. If the color temperature differs, the indicator shows visible color differences. In that case, the light is in accordance with ISO 3664 not suitable for color evaluation of proofs and prints.

The FreeColour HLC Colour System uses the CIELAB color model and the clear systematics of HLC representation to describe colors digitally and device-independent. The colour atlas addresses professional users from design to production including the involved suppliers. Due to its open digital Creative Commons concept, the colour atlas is particularly suitable for cross-sectoral colour communications with the highest quality standards.

The production method ensures a very good match between the printed colour swatches and the ideal LAB reference and between different atlases/batches. Each colour atlas contains an individual quality protocol according to ISO 12647-7.
