HOW TO MEASURE BLACK?
HOW TO MEASURE BLACK?
The Orion’s colorist team and the coating laboratory have worked for years to develop suitable calibration tools (e.g. a so called black hollow body) and coated panels to create robust measurement results. We have also collaborated with independent testing facilities, as well as measurement equipment companies to optimize their equipment all in the pursuit to show correct undertones that live up to the highest scientific standards.
For innovative coatings with very low reflection (L*<1 for deep black) special attention needs to be paid to both measurement technology and sample preparation.
