Datacolor ColorReader Pro - Portable Colour Matching Tool For Professionals and Amateurs, OLED Display for Standalone Use, Rapid Paint Colour Identification

Brilliant and convenient way to match, compliment and discover colours. If it prevents a "it's not quite right" moment then it's worth it's cost many times over. A quick Google can also convert it to a Crown device with their full pallet of needed

Great product if you need to scan F&B paints in UK. If you need specify other paints, then you need to buy for the software that's coming with the app.

Bought this to find paint to match re-plastered patch on big ceiling where the original brilliant white had faded. Took multiple readings which were very consistent. Had paint mixed to shade and it is spot on. Only challenge is that is provides Hex, RGB codes etc but not RAL (which was what the paint supplier needed). However, a couple minutes online soon resulted in a Hex to RAL conversion

Unfortunately this device just doesn't work as advertised, actually, not even close to getting the colours correct the majority of the time. I tested it against known F & B colours and out of 12 attempts on various colours of matt (multiple reads on the same areas), it got it correct once although even that was the third choice. The rest of the time it was way off. Then there was the satin - not even close. Not even the correct colours! It was suggesting grey when the paint was deep green, blue when it was light green, black when it was grey (multiple reads). Second actual test against known colours and it stopped calibrating entirely either from the app or on the device itself. Just glad it happened so soon after I'd bought it so I could send it back. Very disappointed.

Easy to setup in minutes once charged,very accurate at colour matching and nice option in app for complimentary colour options ,good addition to my business as a painter / decorator

There is a choice of Europe or US registration and paints shown are very limited in the UK. To get direct access to certain brands fan decks, a different licensed version will be necessary. The device does feel a bit locked down due to licensing agreements but scanning does work well and data can be taken and used in a browser for in-depth colour research.

Easy to use

tested it on a swatch card and was very accurate

Very simple to use and absolutely amazing. It seems to be more geared towards house painting as it prioritizes giving paint names and a few too many clicks to get to the RGB, Hex and CMYK values. I wish they gave pantones. That’s all crappy app features so I hope they update that. Otherwise a great little machine.

Mide bien, aunque no es demasiada intuitiva la app para hacer comparaciones y guardar bien las paletas de colores

Den ansluter till telefonen utan problem och avläsningarna är mycket exakta. Man är inte låst till en speciell tillverkare utan mätaren innehåller både RAL och Farrow & Ball. På minussidan kan sägas att man måste prenumerera på NCS och att det flesta skandinaviska färgtillverkarnas kartor saknas.
