The Calibrite ColorChecker Classic is the industry-standard color reference target trusted by photographers and filmmakers for more than 40 years. Its array of 24 scientifically formulated color patches — each representing the actual color of natural objects such as human skin tones, foliage, and blue sky — reflects light exactly like their real-world counterparts under any illumination, with any color reproduction process.
Use the ColorChecker Classic to create custom DNG profiles for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop workflows, or build custom ICC camera profiles for Capture One and other ICC-compatible software using Calibrite ColorChecker Camera Calibration software. The result is accurate color at capture, tailored to your specific lighting, camera, and lens combination — saving valuable time in edit and eliminating costly trial-and-error color correction.
Simply include the ColorChecker in your first shot during a photo or video shoot. Later in post, use it as a reference point to compare, measure, and analyze color reproduction — and make global corrections with confidence, knowing exactly how your adjustments will affect the rest of your colors before you apply them.
