The ColorChecker is a trusted 24-color reference target used for over 40 years to ensure accurate color reproduction in photography and filmmaking. Its scientifically formulated patches mimic real-world colors (like skin tones, foliage, and sky) and behave naturally under any light, providing reliable color matching across workflows.
Photographers use it to create custom DNG or ICC profiles (for Lightroom, Photoshop, or Capture One), ensuring precise color capture for specific camera, lens, and lighting setups—saving editing time.
Simply include the ColorChecker in a shot, then use it in post-production to measure color differences and apply corrections accurately. It helps avoid trial-and-error adjustments by providing a consistent reference, ensuring edits affect colors predictably.
