What is a Color Evaluation Box?

The Color Evaluation Box is a tool suitable for all industries and applications where it is necessary to maintain color and quality consistency from different light sources. This way, colors appear differently, to avoid reducing evaluation error, when performing color contrasts, it is therefore necessary to use a color evaluation box, also known as: color set box, color set cabinet, display booth, etc., all these simulating different light sources, to obtain an objective evaluation of color and tone difference at any time, and anywhere.
This tool can be applied to industries that need to perform color difference tests, whether for lighting and display manufacturers in the graphic arts, photography, textile, printing, ceramics, plastics and automotive industries.

Color Evaluation Box performance

Color Evaluation Boxes are ideal for minimizing the challenges associated with evaluating products or samples in different environments, whether geological or seasonal, by providing cost-effective mechanisms for ensuring visual product accuracy. The main objective of the Color Evaluation Boxes is to provide uniform, standardized display environments for assessing color variations, detecting lighting sources and participating accurately in the supply chain.
These boxes deliver the highest color rendering available. And to ensure their performance, proper maintenance is necessary to ensure that the lighting is accurate. They are easy to use, with mechanisms for service indicators, automatic sequencing, energy savings and data storage.

Advantages of using color evaluation boxes

Using color evaluation boxes, it offers an adjustable, electronically controlled option, via diffusers that evaluate color proportions, for contemplating the characteristics of products such as paint, glass, polished surfaces and ceramics. Above all, they can be used to create a barrier between the light source and the viewing area to avoid visual disturbance.
Typically, color evaluation boxes are equipped with lamps, which can be configured according to users’ needs to achieve optimum results. Their use offers the following advantages: 

  • Minimizes the amount of ambient light or glare that interferes with visual assessments.
  • Ensures fast, reliable color assessment, as no preheating is required.
  • Low energy consumption, no heat (no need to heat) High luminous efficacy.
  • High luminous efficacy because it consumes no heat.
Therefore, to benefit from the advantages of color evaluation boxes, these units must be placed in areas that contribute to performance, accompanied by certain elements, such as: around the box, it is recommended that windows near the booth be covered with a gray curtain. Direct light entering the field of vision should be kept to a minimum. The lighting environment around the box should have a light level of 200-300 Lux, and the walls should be neutral gray.
