Measure
and the
Reference
colours, a group of
Reference
colours or the entire
Reference
database,
providing a quantification of the CIE 1976 a,b colour difference (CIELAB) ΔE*
ab
. Measure is ranked
according to three threshold levels set by user, allowing to definition of acceptance or rejection
criteria based on objective elements. The result can be used for the quality control of a product, to
evaluate the colour aging of an object and for many other applications.
