Understanding Datacolor
Datacolor is an instrument which works by emitting a single or multiple wavelengths on to substrate (target) and then records the reflectance values. Afterwards uses these values to create a skeleton or graph which shows how substrate has behaved with varying wavelength. Typical wavelength used here is of visible region that is of 400nm to 700nm. For example let say we are trying to read values of a black fabric through data color. As, we know black color absorb every wavelength which fall on to it. That’s why it appears black,
Behavior of Black fabric
Same happens with data color graph and it shows zero or near to no reflectance value. We will be getting results reverse we try to repeat this experiment with white fabric and we will be having maximum reflectance value.
Behavior of White Fabric
Visible region of Electromagnetic waves covers from 400 to 700nm and colors vary on different wavelength as we move from 400 to 700nm we see Yellow toRed .
%Reflectance value for green color and graph will be like
