Color Comparator

Color comparators are instruments used in chemical analysis to visually compare the color of a sample with a standard color. They are commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, and textiles to determine the color quality and consistency of products.

Color comparators typically consist of a light source, a series of color standards or discs, and a viewing area. The light source illuminates the sample and the color standards, allowing the user to compare the colors side by side. The user can then determine if the sample matches a specific color standard or if there are any deviations.

These instruments are often used in quality control processes to ensure that products meet specific color requirements or to detect any color variations that may indicate a problem in the manufacturing process. They are also used in research and development to study the effects of different factors on color and to develop new color formulations.

In the supply class Chemical Analysis Instruments, color comparators are categorized as instruments specifically designed for color analysis. They are part of the broader supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment, which includes various instruments and equipment used in laboratory settings for scientific research, analysis, and testing purposes.
