Gretag Macbeth ColorChecker SG. aka Color Checker

The Digital ColorChecker SG (semi-gloss) is designed for use with the ProfileMaker 5 Digital Camera Module. Chart contains 140 color patches chosen for optimal results.

Includes standard 24 ColorChecker chart colors. More skin-tone reference colors deliver greater accuracy and consistency over a wide variety of skin tones.

Gray scale steps provide accurate control of camera balance and maintain a neutral aspect regardless of light source. Sturdy, standardized target size of 8.5 x 11 inches (21.6 x 27.9 cm) easily fits into a full frame shot.

Whether digital photography or film-based photography, you still need the traditional gray card and color charts. Even though Kodak has a color card, Macbeth has been able to provide professional photography with an international standard reference card, both for colors and for gray scale.

For the highest reproduction accuracy available, be sure to use a Macbeth ColorChecker and not the Kodak Q-13 or Kodak Q-14 gray cards. Macbeth ColorChecker is the international standard for the digital era. The Kodak Q-13 card was the favorite decades ago, but skip it and upgrade to the Macbeth ColorChecker.

Avoid the Gretag digital ColorChecker DC ; use instead the newer ColorChecker SG. These are if you intend to do ICC color profiling. For basic color balance, continue to use the original Macbeth ColorChecker.
