What is Color Purity?
Purity, which is equivalent to saturation when talking about xy chromaticity, describes how “pure,” or monochromatic, a color is at a given lightness. For example, consider all spectra with a lightness of 50. The spectrum could be composed of equal intensities of all...What is Delta E (ΔE) used in Colorimetry?
Delta E is an equation to describe the difference between two colors when using the CIE L* a* b* graph. It is defined as follows: As a general rule of thumb, a delta E of one is barely perceptible and a delta E greater than three means two different colors. However,...What is the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of a light source?
The correlated color temperature is another way to describe a light source’s color point on the 1932 CIE chromaticity diagram. It compares the color to that of a blackbody source heated to a certain temperature. For example, light bulbs are described as 2700K, 5000K,...What is Episodic Data Capture?
Episodic Data Capture is a tool in the SpectraWiz software that can be used to capture spectra over a certain time period. It can be found under the “Setup” menu. For example, it could be set up to capture a spectrum every second while a reaction is occurring to...What is Chroma?
Chroma describes how pure, or monochromatic, a color is compared to a white surface with the same illumination. For example, if a white surface is illuminated with 0.1W m-2 nm-1, the irradiance spectrum will also show 0.1W m-2 nm-1 at all visible wavelengths...
