🎨 Datacolor ColorReader – Instantly Identify Paint Color: Optimal Tool for DIY, Painters, Designers, and Facility Managers Review

I bought this updated version and it shows a few different colors, although I'm trying the exact same color chart snippet without even removing the device from the color chart I'm going to the studio tomorrow, to see how far this is from the lab test results. The app sucks, there is no way to set the default color format to show me, always in the lab. When I click on color info it doesn't show me CMYK which I should. I have to click on the color swatch and then on the color information to get…

There are many competitors in this space but in my opinion this is the only one that offers the best balance between accuracy, ease of use and price. At $99, only a device or two are cheaper, but unfortunately they fall far short in accuracy and simplicity. Some pricier models, including Datacolor's ColorReader Pro, don't offer significant improvements in accuracy or overall performance to justify a higher price tag. decks, but once it's done the app is responsive and easy to navigate. Each…

I am an interior designer and have used color matching equipment in the past. I love the form factor of this Datacolor color reader (a bit longer than a coin roll) and the easy way to charge the device using any standard micro USB. So many customers are afraid of color or don't know exactly what they want. We let our customers be inspired by everything: showrooms, catalogues, public spaces, porcelain, clothes, flowers and vegetables. Just make sure the inspiration piece you use is a flat…

Rating 4/5 I'm being honest. I have used DataColor devices and was not completely satisfied. I'm a photographer and I've used the Spyder 5 Color Calibrator, but I'm not impressed. As you learn more about photography, you realize that color is an integral part of the whole equation. I realized that I wasn't very good at color management and color theory. Youtube doesn't make it easy either, as I've researched. This device has arrived. I think the premise of this is phenomenal. It's actually…

Really big colored eyes! I'm an interior designer so I use it all the time. The app is easy to use and I love the ability to save and upload colors to the client. The color is damn accurate, I "tested" it thoroughly at my house and it was funny, the colors we bought direct from Ben Moore are 100% accurate. Those where we had Ben Moore's colors matching Sherwin Williams mostly had a closer result of Sherwin Williams with the color we matched as one of the smaller match results or even two…

Not working. I was really excited to get this color picker because I was trying to match multiple colors by hand and while I got close it wasn't a perfect match. Therefore, when this device arrived, I thought my problems were solved. My first try was on the ceiling, right? It's just a white blanket with a perfectly flat surface. I did a few readings in the area I wanted to colour, maybe 20 or so and always 2 came out the same colour, great sign! I went to Sherwin Williams and chose the exact…
