Is it still branded X-Rite?
Branding / ownership seems to be "Calibrite" now. Would be helpful to compile a list of historical branding/naming changes, with similar tools existing that look identical at first glance, but have different patches, it is quite confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.136.7.154 (talk) 08:59, 14 January 2023 (UTC)


 * It is just branding. Yes, it is very confusing, sadly! Such a list would definitely be helpful imo! Zonksoft (talk) 22:21, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

L*a*b* and RGB values

OK, I thought L*a*b* and RGB values would be useful, but since I've no better sources, I'll leave it for now. cm&#610;&#671;ee&#2927;&#8202;&#865;&#176;&#160;&#814;&#1583;&#8202;&#865;&#176;&#8201;&#2669; 11:29, 25 July 2013 (UTC)


 * There are at least 3 sources linked in the article which have more trustworthy numbers. But even then, to include them in the article would require explaining a bit of process behind the conversions, etc.:   –jacobolus (t) 17:17, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Colors
So, where, exactly did the hex colors for the chart come from? It's clear that someone converted them, because the source doesn't show hex values. It's also clear because two of the 'neutral' greys have an unequal amount of blue (squares #19 and 22). Can we get a link to an actual conversion, or a note that these are calculated and do a better job of calculating them? 67.164.35.222 (talk) 00:23, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Please dive into the details
Everybody here in wiki refers to bruce lindbloom, but nobody checks the details. Sorry but on Bruce Lindbloom site there are a lot of inconsistent use of 2° and 10° observer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.62.58.119 (talk) 15:02, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

error in PDF version of the chart
Unfortunately, gray field "160,160,160" in the PDF chart is wrong. It contains the light value 120,120,120. 2003:CA:574C:C100:F02C:6D79:FDF4:7F54 (talk) 16:00, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Spectrophotometry
I can't agree that "comprehensive spectrophotometric measurements are available". There is babelcolor.com, yes, and the X-Rite people have a confusing statement about the situation https://www.xrite.com/de/service-support/faq_colorchecker_sg_spectral_data and I would rather call this "hardly any availability of spectrophotometric data".
