COLOR BARS 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Eight equal width vertical color bars are displayed at 100% amplitude, 100% saturation in the 
order from left to right: White, Yellow, Cyan, Green, Magenta, Red, Blue, and Black.  
 
The COLOR BARS video pattern serves as the fundamental pattern used for most testing, 
troubleshooting and adjustments in video equipment. Use this test pattern to check and test 
the video device’s ability to produce fully saturated primary and secondary colors. It is often 
used as the reference for color adjustment and compensation. When troubleshooting, analysis 
of the colors bars pattern helps television service personnel to pinpoint color related problem 
to specific circuits. This pattern can also be use as a reference for troubleshooting color 
amplifier or color demodulator problems inside the display device.

This pattern displays a series of horizontal and vertical straight white lines that forms a grid 
of 16 x 12 squares of the same size. 
This pattern is used to check and adjust dynamic convergence of the display. Observe the 
horizontal and vertical lines to detect color fringing resulting from misconvergence. An 
example that the display is misconverged is when the white lines become separated Red, 
Green, and Blue lines. Adjust the display’s RGB convergence control to align the colors to 
overlap so the horizontal and vertical lines appear as white lines. 
This pattern can also provide a convenient reference for making vertical and horizontal 
linearity adjustments. Each square should be the same size. 
CROSS HATCH pattern is also useful for checking pincushion (bow) distortion and display 
geometry such as picture centering, size, and trapezoid (keystone) correction. For trapezoid 
correction, adjust the TV’s display control so that the pattern’s edges are parallel to the edges 
of the display screen. For pincushion correction, the horizontal and vertical lines should be 
adjusted to be straight.
