This is a really cool gadget to have in my collection, it is smaller than a pack of cards and easily connects to my phone for easy use around the house or elsewhere. Our house has a large number of paint colours that were applied long before we moved in and when it takes time to do touch ups this makes it much easier to scan the wall and get a fairly close match along with the prefered brand code of paint to ask for from your local hardware store. In test on surfaces we recently painted all were either the correct colour or just 1 shade off from the right colour with a fairly reliable estimate overall.

Works great
I repainted my shed door to match the shutters. The match looks perfect! Can’t wait to use this tool for other projects.
Purchased color reader to help match colors to my new dining room chairs. The product exceeded my expectations! Absolutely love the ease and many uses for color matching!

Great Decorating Aid
I ordered this device as I was having some difficulty accurately identifying the paint colour in a few rooms in my house after moving in. The ColorReader was really easy to set up and works well on my phone. The app works well and has a number of useful features. I particularly liked the feature which suggests colours that coordinate with the main colour you match.
I would recommend this device. I feel it was good value for money and a useful bit of kit. Much easier than relying on guess work or multiple colour card matches to identify possible colour matches!

I personally like this item a lot. It was very easy to set up and pair to my phone. In order for this to work you do need to download the Datacolor app onto your phone, didn’t take long at all. Follow the prompts and make sure your Bluetooth is on, and you’re set. There is a little plastic flap that covers the lens/reader located on the bottom of the device, That flap needs to be up and folded back so you can have the reader flat against the surface you’re trying to read. This reader runs on (2) CR2032 batteries that are already in the device when you receive it.
To show an example of how this works I matched the color of a dark gold mailing folder and included a screenshot of how the match appears on your phone. I also included a couple pictures showing where the reader is located under the phone and the flap that needs to be folded back.
This is a small unit that is easy to hold, and a simple press of a button for it to read a color. It’s also based on the paints that are loaded into the system. I wouldn’t expect a unit like this to be able to perfectly match every color out there. Many years ago I was a color matcher for flexo ink, and we had a very elaborate system. Yes, the system gave great matches, but they were not always 100% and especially with lighter grays and beiges they always needed to be tweaked beyond what the system would give us. That’s how I view this little color reader. Some of the colors will be very accurate, but not all. And there are certainly some surfaces I wouldn’t even attempt to use this device on such as raised surfaces, popcorn ceilings, grasscloth wallcoverings, etc.
I really like that I can create color palettes and that my matches will be saved. I don’t expect this unit to work like an expensive color matching system, but for the cost I have no complaints and will get a lot of use out of it.
Wow!! I'm in the middle of a kitchen re-do and the EZ was a life saver! I was able to find the colors I needed and even coordinate colors. This saved me tons of time and $$.

I love this thing! We’re in the middle of repainting our house and it really came in handy to help pick the colors we were hoping for. I like that I could narrow down to Sherwin Williams since that’s the brand we prefer. It’s been a life saver!
ColorReader EZ is exactly that — easy! Easy to use, easy to match colors, easy to get resources/retailers. This has proven to be the most beneficial tool I have as a decorator. It is small, lightweight, and slips into your pocket or purse. My clients are thrilled with my ability to identify and coordinate colors of paint, fabrics, and accessories for them – so quickly and accurately. It saves me so much time and enhances my technical and visual expertise. I cannot live without it!
I loved this product. It made remodeling and decorating easy and fun. Truly magical. I highly recommend it.
Prezioso per chi lavora con i colori!
Se siete dei grafici, degli architetti, degli arredatori o anche degli imbianchini, questo aggeggino fondamentale! Gli basta un secondo per leggere con precisione un colore senza risentire dell’influenza delle luce ambiente. L’app dedicata ci aiuter anche a capire quali sono i migliori abbinamenti cromatici per il colore in questione. L’alimentazione fornita da due batterie CR2032, ma funzionando tramite Bluetooth a basso consumo durer per almeno qualche migliaio di letture.
Utilissimo anche se in lettura non mi riconosce i Pantone
Mi occupo di grafica digitale dal 1999 in ambito professionale e ho alle spalle anche tre ristrutturazioni gestite in parte da me, che mi hanno dato modo di approfondire tanti aspetti legati al colore. Questo ColorReader di Datacolor mi sembrata un’idea non bella, ma bellissima. Il funzionamento anche molto semplice ma nel senso positivo, perch si accende e si abbina premendo un singolo pulsante e poi lo stesso pulsante fa partire la lettura. Alla fine si spegne da solo. Ha una batteria a bottone dentro che credo durer parecchio. Comunque il punto della questione che non contempla le mazzetta Pantone, nessuna delle tre che ho io restituisce dati corretti in lettura. Avevo problemi anche sulle letture delle vernici ma per quello basta poi disattivare le varie corrispondenze sulle mazzette che non usate lasciando solo quelle che preferite, perch ne ha diverse e d i tre risultati pi simili ma in alcuni casi magari nessuno dei 3 nella mazzetta che usate come riferimento. Utilissimo comunque che nella lettura offra delle informazioni molto importanti, quali la corrispondenza in RGB, in LAB e il valore esadecimale. Quindi partendo da un colore del mondo reale riesco in un attimo a replicarlo al computer nelle mie elaborazioni. In sostanza lo reputo un “aggeggio” davvero molto utile.

Einfaches aber doch effektiver kleiner Helfer um den richtigen Farbton zu finde
Von Amazon wurde schnell und gut verpackt der ColorReader EZ geliefert. Einmal ausgepackt muss aus dem Smartphone noch die passende App installiert werden und schon kann man nach Herstellen der Verbindung und kurzer Kalibrierung das Gert nutzen.
Hierfr klappt man nur den Schutz der Messsonde zurck und drckt den einzigen Knopf des Gertes. In der App wird dann die Farbe angezeigt und auch die passende Farbe aus Paletten verschiedener Hersteller angezeigt. Perfekt fr die Renovierung, da man so immer schnell den passenden Farbton findet. Bei uns haben die Farben sehr gut gepasst, Unterschiede waren nicht festzustellen.
Schn ist auch, dass man sich weitere Informationen ber die Farbe in der App anzeigen lassen kann. So werden unter anderem die RGB Werte angezeigt, so dass man den Farbton recht einfach auf dem Computer finden kann.
Fazit: Gute und einfache Funktion, nichts zu meckern und volle Anzahl an Sternen.

Der Wahnsinn für kleines Geld – sowas war früher unbezahlba
Der Datacolor ColorReader EZ wurde gut verpackt und schnell geliefert wie man es von Amazon nicht anders gewohnt ist. Dieses erstaunliche kleine Teil bildet gemeinsam mit der App eine Kombination mit der das Rtselraten endlich ein Ende hat. Wer kennt das nicht, man sieht irgendwo eine Farbe die einen gefllt zum Beispiel auf Dekownden in bekannten Mbelhusern und keiner kann einen die Daten zu den Farbton sagen. Das Rtselraten hat jetzt ein Ende. Mit diesem digitalen ColorReader fr die Hosentasche hat man nun immer die Mglichkeit przise die Farbe einer Oberflche ermitteln. Ein unglaublich hilfreiches Tool welches noch vor einiger Jahren unbezahlbar gewesen wre. Das Gert vom Zenit ziemlich zuverlssig und hat eine Fehlertoleranz von maximal ein bis zwei Farbnuancen. Die Software Es bersichtlich und anwenderfreundlich, so zumindest fr Ihre Messgerte. Die Softwareversion fr Android Gerte kann ich leider nicht beurteilen. Auf mitgelieferten matten Oberflchen arbeitet das Gert wirklich sehr zuverlssig. Auf hoch glnzenden Flchen kommt es leider hierunter zu Fehlbestimmungen. Das macht es auch schwierig das Gert fr zum Beispiel Autolacke zu nutzen. Wieso bedarf es vielleicht doch dem deutlich teureren Pro Ausfhrung. Mein Fazit: Ein wirklich interessantes Gert zur Farbbestimmung.
Funziona alla perfezione! oggetto TOP!
Finalmente i colori non sono pi un mistero. Grazie a questo piccolo ma utilissimo e funzionale strumento potremo identificare in tutta autonomia la colorazione di qualsiasi oggetto in modo da poterlo riprodurre e colorare in tutta libert. Ho una parete con due tipi di pittura (bianco e bianco panna) e grazie a questo dispositivo ho potuto ordinare altri secchi di pittura dei medesimi colori semplicemente scrivendo ai fornitori su internet e risparmiando parecchio rispetto all’acquisto in negozio fisico, oltre a non aver la seccatura di dover portare un campione di pittura in negozio per farlo identificare. Il rilevatore molto piccolo e tascabile, si collega facilmente allo smartphone mediante il bluetooth collegato con l’app gratuita proprietaria (ios e android). Basta sollevare la clip di copertura del senore, poggiarlo sulla superficie da analizzare ed avremo il codice specifico del colore che ci serve. Inoltre nell’app possibile anche avere lo storico dei colori identificati ed una palette di colori affini al nostro. Un dispositivo forse leggermente costoso per un utente comune che non deve utilizzarlo per lavoro, ma lo reputo molto utile oltre che per gli addetti ai lavori ovvi come i pittori, anche per gli arredatori di interni, graphic designers, fotografi, architetti ecc ecc. Oggetto top, consigliato! Spero che questa recensione vi sia stata utile 😀
Pretty accurate
Not perfect but the most accurat “paint color reader” I’ve used. This one uses it’s own device to read the paint color which makes it way more accurate than those that use a picture or cell phone cameras. It is still a little picky when it comes to older paints as the fading of the paint makes it seem like a different shade, but I’m honestly not sure how you would compensate for that. The app works well and you can save the colors it finds so it makes this one actually useful.
I think this one is a solid 4 star buy, if it was a litle ceaper it would absolutely be a 5 star buy…
Just my thoughts,
AK
Great device
Handy little device for a decent price. Really helped me with decorating my kitchen and choosing the right colours. Will definitely be recommending this to my work colleagues.
Ever wondered how to match that color with paint? This little device is it. Simply scan the color and it will tell you the exact right color mix you need for near perfect results every time. Best of all, it provides the top 3 paint color matches from the most popular paint brands to your measured color, plus coordinating colors and color scheme options. This is a designers dream tool! Go for it.

Good product for colour scheming your home.
I decorated my main room, spare room and bathroom using this tool. It really helped me with the colour scheme as it recommends particular colours that would go well with your main colour. It also recommends brands also.
Very easy to use so highly recommend.
When I saw this product, I was very interested to try it out. We had some painting touch-up to do which required matching, so I thought I would give this a try.
The unit pairs easily with your phone, actually easier than some other Bluetooth products. But when I used it to scan a smooth off-white wall, the color sample that showed up on my phone was quite a bit darker than the wall. Holding it up against the wall showed the color sample didn’t look anything like the actual color.
I understand that color representation on an LCD screen (I use an IPhone 11 Pro Max) can be way off, so I don’t necessarily hold that against this product. But it a bit disconcerting to scan a particular color and see something that seems way off.
A better test would be to scan the wall, get the recommended paint brand color value and buy a can of that color and see if it’s a good match. I have some renovation work to do in a couple of months so I’ll be giving it a shot then.

ganz gu
Nachdem das Angebot dieser Seite mehrere Produkte offeriert, sei zunchst erwhnt, dass sich meine Bewertung auf den ColorReader EZ bezieht.
Der ColorReader EZ ist ein handliches und robustes Gert von ca. 4x8cm, dass man berall hin mitnehmen kann. Es funktioniert natrlich nur in Verbindung mit der dazugehrigen App, wo der analysierte Farbton aufgeschlsselt wird.
Nach einigen Versuchen auf einer gngigen RAL-Farbmusterkarte eines bekannten Lackherstellers konnte uns das Produkt noch nicht recht berzeugen, zu weit entfernt waren die tatschlichen Farben von den erkannten. Daher betrieben wir Ursachenforschung mit folgenden Erkenntnissen: Das Gert sollte mehrfach kalibriert werden, wobei die Referenzflche sauber sein muss und kein Streulicht einfallen darf. Am besten kalibriert man im Dunkeln, notfalls in der Hosentasche.
Das mit dem Streulicht gilt dann auch fr den Messvorgang, je nach Lichteinfall fallen hier die Ergebnisse hchst unterschiedlich aus. Wenn dagegen der Messbereich samt Messgert mit einem Tuch abgedunkelt wird, reduziert sich die Fehlerquote massiv. Daneben muss der Messbereich so sauber wie mglich sein, um strende Einflsse zu minimieren.
Was letztlich auf der Farbkarte ganz gut funktionierte, muss man dann nur noch in die Praxis umsetzen, also dort, wo man einen unbekannten Farbton analysieren mchte. Dabei haben wir die Erfahrung gemacht, dass glnzende Oberflchen anders bewertet werden als matte und erstere deutlich nher an der Realitt liegen.
Zusammenfassend lsst sich sagen, dass man ein durchaus brauchbares Farberkennungsgert bekommt, in dessen Bedienung man sich aber erst einarbeiten muss, um mglichst zutreffende Messergebnisse zu erhalten.

Video review: I found this incredibly easy to set-up and use. I got the colours I liked.
First thoughts:
I had this set up and ready to go in minutes. The packaging was just the card the device was laying on but that was all it needed. The reader identifies the colour the lens is in contact with and outputs the colour or closest match using the RAL system for accurate procurement. As RAL is a set standard you can give this to almost any European paint manufacturer and it can be recreated accurately and consistently across the board.
I don’t need to eyeball the colour of something I like and try to find a match by sight. I just pop open the lens flap, fire up the app on my phone and click the button while it’s in contact with the surface of an item I like the colour of.
Detail and things to note (See pictures and video):
Small reader device with a single button on the top side and a folding flap covering the lens on the bottom.
App was easy to find on the app store and paired with the device quickly without any issues. The device serial number detailed on the backing card is used to identify the device in the app.
Find a colour you want to use and lay the device lens on the surface, click the button to scan. The matching colour or closest match is displayed on the app with supplementary information if it’s available (RAL number, paint brand, name of the colour etc.). It will also provide the colour match in Hex and RGB although I personally wouldn’t try to shop for paint using those methods. It would however be useful in design scenarios.
Recent scans are saved in the app history for quick recall later.
Final thoughts:
Although it suggests it should be used on a hard, flat surface, I managed to match the green screen material while it was hung up on the wall. This seems to be a versatile and accurate device. If you’re familiar with locating paint colours by RAL number then this could be a powerful tool in your kit. I’ve been using it constantly on this home project and so I’d happily recommend this.

BUON prodotto, molto valido e con un buon rapporto qualità prezzo!
Prodotto consigliatissimo per architetti o arredatori di interni, personalmente l’ho preso per controllare i colori dei vari fogli di vinile quando li compro.
IN SINTESI
Prodotto abbastanza intuitivo da usare ma leggermente lento al collegamento. Personalmente l’accuratezza che ha mi pi che sufficiente ma se volete davvero precisione e ripetibilit vi consiglio di prendere i “fratelli” pi grandi e potenti.
DESCRIZIONE COMPLETA
Il dispositivo arriva imballato in una semplice confezione di plastica, le istruzioni sono minimali e fanno riferimento solo alla app per poterlo utilizzare. La prima sincronizzazione stata anche veloce e facile ma ogni volta che lo si va a collegare per poterlo utilizzare ci si mette un attimo perch diventi operativo e la app lo rilevi correttamente. L’utilizzo in realt molto intuitivo, basta posizionare bene il sensore e premere il pulsante o lanciare la rilevazione da app. Il dispositivo si pu calibrare e effettuando pi volte una misurazione sullo stesso posto senza spostarlo ho notato una variazione piccola e “trascurabile” ricordando la destinazione prettamente semi-professionale. Il dispositivo davvero divertente da usare e leggero e facile da trasportare.
PRO:
si pu calibrare facilmente
facile da utilizzare
da molte informazioni sul colore customizzabli a seconda delle varie “famiglie” di ral
app con molte possibilit (condivisione/salvataggio/colori suggeriti etc.)
CONTRO:
lento a connettersi per poterlo utilizzare
CONCLUSIONI
Sicuramente un buon prodotto per la fascia Hobbistica-semiprofessionale, qualche difetto ma compensato dal prezzo accessibile a tutti se si considera il potenziale.

small and portable, easy to use
The “Datacolor ColorReader EZ – Match and Coordinate Paint and Color Values Instantly” is small and very portable, as well as being easy to use.
We got the app set up quickly and scanned a variety of colours under different conditions.
We scanned the SAME wall in both shadows and in light, and the colour match was the same in both instances. The paint sample colours seem accurate and the paint brands are appropriate for my region.
There were a couple of things we didn’t like about it though.
The plastic cover for the reader sampling area is not that high quality and is likely easy to break.
Also, if you are trying to get a colour from a multicoloured surface, such as a painting, it is really difficult to place the reader appropriately because there is no window to allow for positioning.
Finally, we didn’t like that you can’t turn it off – it times out after a couple of minutes of no activity, but battery life will be decreased by how long that takes.
So, in short, it works nicely for some of your decorating needs, and is great if you are trying to match a wall-paint colour. Much better than relying on the eye.

So, in short, it works nicely for some of your decorating needs, and is great if you are trying to match a wall-paint colour. Much better than relying on the eye.
Neat device to play with but some issues
Basically this is a color scanner. it tries to match this with known paint if it can.
I am hoping to use it for 3d printing. IE start color matching my filament so I can match up a filament as close as I can with what I am mounting the part too etc.. I know niche but something fun to try
it has trouble sometimes with lighter colors sadly which is what I tend to like.
While the app is very well made I do not like that I have to register to use it. there is no technical need for that and it should be optional not mandatory (the only reason I dinged it. unnecessary data grabs and digital leashes are a big no no for me. its my property stop forcing me to let your fingers in.
Overall compact. fun. easy to use. did I mention fun to use (IT IS fun 🙂 and decorators are going to likely enjoy this.
A nice little compact and accurate reader that just works, could do with some better instructions.
We bought a new house just before lockdown and wanted to make sure we get the exact paint colour for any little bits of the house we do up. So when I got the chance to try this out I went for it. The colour reader is tiny and connects to your phone via Bluetooth and the ColorReader app. While it was simple to connect to my phone and use there were some instructions that weren’t very clear. For example it doesn’t show where the lens flap was and it took me a while to figure this out lol. It also doesn’t show me how to turn it off when I’m done. Beside those minor annoyances, once I figured out how to use it, it worked great. The compact size of this reader means it’s great for taking with you so if you spot a colour you like somewhere you can quickly capture it in seconds with ease.

No complaints, much easier to color match rather than ripping off a panel of whatever you need to match to bring into the paint store.

Great piece of kit for home usage but not fully accurate
I ordered this off vine as a joke originally. Its basically a running joke in our family where my wife feels that a particular colour is orange and I feel it is red or vice versa. I thought this device would help to settle that debate finally. After using it for a few times, I feel that this is quite a great piece of kit and is really handy for identifying colours.
It came in a simple packaging and looked much smaller than I had imagined. As soon as I took it out, I could see that it is a premium product and felt quite nice in hands although it is mostly plastic but it didnt feel cheap. It needs to be paired with an app to be able to use it which was easy enough. Cool thing was that once connected, you can start a reading directly from the app and the reading is automatically shown on the device.
The app has a database of paint colours from a few brands but it didnt have any of the ones I am aware of. Maybe those colours will be added in future. It also provides an RGB value which can be used to find the colour of your favourite paint.
From an accuracy point of view, I think it has helped to settle the issue between me and my wife regarding colour of a couple of items. Obviously I was right in all the cases (just kidding). I think it is mostly accurate but in some cases I have seen that it gives weird results. I tried to identify the colour of my furniture but as it has wooden texture, the colour was completely off and instead of yellowish or brown colour, I got a more orangish colour.
I think it needs to be used in ideal conditions with right lighting and the correct texture of the surface to identify the colour more accurately. I am sure there are better alternatives available which are more accurate but those would be at a much higher price.
As a basic colour reader, I think it does the job and does not cost a lot. It is great for casual home usage but is not accurate enough for use by professionals.
Pros
Easy to setup and use
All accessories including batteries included
Compact size
Reasonable price for home usage
Cons
Accuracy is not great
Suffers in adverse lighting conditions
The paint database is limited
Overall, I feel this is a great piece of kit for home usage but for professional use, I would avoid due to accuracy issues.
Gadget interessante
In linea generale uno strumento che all’occorrenza pu risultare utile un po’ a tutti, ovvio che persone che svolgono determinate tipologie di attivit possano apprezzarne ulteriormente le funzionalit rispetto ad un fruitore occasionale o ad una tantum.
Le modalit di utilizzo sono semplici ed intuitive; una volta scaricata l’app ColorReader sia da dispositivi Ios che Android sufficiente collegare via Bluetooth il rilevatore di colori al nostro smartphone e siamo gi pronti per sperimentarne l’efficacia.
Per un uso corretto e soprattutto che porti a risultati il pi possibile affidabili, suggerisco di metterlo all’opera in condizioni di luce il pi possibile naturale, su superfici piane e su materiali che per fattura, non producano riflessi tali da alterare gli esiti.
Io personalmente l’ho testato su diversi generi di cose ed oggetti, dai muri a tessuti, da mobili a piastrelle; la rilevazione immediata e su un campione di 20 rilevazioni effettuate solo un paio non mi hanno convinto, quindi in linea con quanto riportato dal produttore che fa menzione relativamente alla precisione di prima misurazione superiore all’85%.
In conclusione il misuratore di colori fa tutto ci che promette; i risultati cromatici sono stati quasi sempre accurati, ad ogni singola rilevazione fornisce le tre migliori corrispondenze di colore dei marchi pi notori al colore analizzato; fornisce dati cromatici precisi in Cielab, Hexe Rgb per qualsiasi colore misurato; tramite app salvare combinazioni cromatiche e colori coordinati per poi condividerli con chi compartecipa alla scelta, e per un hobbysta fai da te o per persone che devono rinfrescare e/o rinnovare un ambiente domestico o di lavoro, le propriet e funzionalit offerte appaiono nel complesso adeguate

Datacolor ColorReader EZ - Un colorimetro semi Professionale!
Questo strumento funziona in abbinamento con l’app gratuita ColorReader (per iPhone o Android) permettendo di rilevare i colori su diversi supporti.
Nello specifico ha dimensioni molto compatte di 8,00 cm. di lunghezza X 4,5 cm. di larghezza X 1,0 cm. di spessore e funziona tramite due batterie (Mod CR2032 gi incluse).
Sulla parte superiore presente un pulsante con led di colore verde che ne consente l’accensione, mentre lo spegnimento avviene in automatico dopo qualche minuto di inattivit.
L’ho testato sia sulle pareti di casa, che sulla verniciatura della porta blindata e l’accuratezza superiore all’85% descritta dal venditore, credo sia veritiera.
Si basa sul calcolo della corrispondenza del colore della pittura raffrontandola alle principali marche di vernici calcolando inoltre misurazioni RGB, Hex, CIE Lab o restringendo le opzioni, con indicatore del solo RAL.
Sulla facciata in basso troviamo una finestrella da aprire, sotto cui alloggiato un Led bianco e una lente con micro fotocamera che permette di fare la scansione della superficie su cui viene appoggiato determinandone la corrispondenza cromatica.
Tramite l’app (che si collega al device per mezzo del Bluetooth), si possono avere diverse funzioni come quella di memoria delle tonalit preferite, oppure visionare una selezione di tinte esistenti in commercio.
I vantaggi di questo prodotto sono prevalentemente la “tascabilit” che ne consente un trasporto agevole ovunque andiamo.
Come svantaggi abbiamo la percentuale di precisione, che nonostante sia gi di per se buona, non sar mai paragonabile a quella di un colorimetro professionale che si pu trovare presso un colorificio.
Il costo di 69,00 (a ottobre 2020), ne fa un prodotto dal buon rapporto qualit-prezzo.
Ho fatto alcune Foto per aiutarvi a capire meglio “dal vivo” come risulta qualora decideste di valutarne l’acquisto.
Personalmente consiglio questo articolo a chi come me ama avere un sistema utile da portarsi in giro, rilevando le tonalit di colore in modo abbastanza accurato, per poi poterle ricreare e verniciare allo stesso modo oggetti o muri.
Prima usavo la fotocamera dello smartphone, ma i colori erano ovviamente sempre distorti rispetto la realt, mentre ora almeno se non proprio esatti al 100% si avvicinano di parecchio quando poi li faccio realizzare.
Lo reputo un supporto utile non solo per piccoli lavoretti, ma anche per molti altri impieghi senza tra l’altro doversi svenare nell’acquisto di prodotti “super professionali”.
Per il resto il suo lavoro lo fa, sempre rimanendo consapevoli che a questa cifra, non si pu pretendere “la luna nel pozzo”.
Spero di esservi stato utile nelle informazioni fornite.
Very useful in the correct hands ..
OK, so the example I’ve shown aren’t really what it is designed for but at least you can see that the colours read by this tiny pocket device are pretty damn close if not exact.
Unit is very pocketable and is very light. Simple to operate and only has one button. Download the app, connect via bluetooth to your phone and you can start scanning your favourite colours. The app has an extensive library of paint charts from many manufacturers so you can pick one out or it will give you the RGB code for the colour and you can mix yourself.
I use it at work for colour matching .. as a commercial photographer colour is very important, although I can balance the camera my monitor might be out giving me a false read when editing. Vice versa too. I have a colourimeter for my monitor and colour balance card for shooting but this method of using this device is quicker.
Get a colour sample, record the RGB value and in photoshop I can replicate/touch up my image to match. I know it isn’t designed specifically for this but really, if it works why not?
It isn’t for everyone – if I didn’t have this item as a free sample I would never have used or tried it but I do have to say that if I had to purchase this with my own money I think it would be a worth investment.
Die Mglichkeit mit dem Datacolor ColorReader EZ die Farbwerte auslesen zu knnen und die Farbe dadurch reproduzieren zu knnen, finde ich eine groartige Hilfe. Die dazugehrige App CororReader lie sich auf meinem Samsung Galaxy Note 10 problemlos installieren und nun jederzeit mit dem Gert verbinden.
Die App ist logisch aufgebaut und leicht verstndlich. Nach jedem Einschalten erwartet der Reader eine kurze und schnell erledigte Kalibrierung. Die Handhabung des Gertes ist ebenfalls sehr einfach und die Farbwerte schnell gemessen. Die Genauigkeit der Messung hngt aber stark vom Untergrund ab. Je nachdem wie matt oder glnzend, uneben, faserig etc. der zu messende Untergrund ist, knnen die Farbwerte in mehreren Messungen doch schon mal deutlich abweichen. Zudem weicht die auf dem Display angezeigte Farbe in der Darstellung naturgem deutlich von der gemessenen Farbe ab. Diese Farbwerte sind mir aber ausreichend genau, um damit in Photoshop arbeiten zu knnen, und mit einem kalibrierten Drucker sehr gute Ergebnisse zu erzielen.
Ich bin mit dem Farbmesser zufrieden, allerding misst er gelegentlich Farbwerte aus, die vollkommen daneben liegen und hier habe ich bislang die Ursache noch nicht finden knnen. Daher ziehe ich auch einen Stern ab.
4 von 5 Sterne
Für Architekten, Maler und den Hausgebrauch gut geeignet, weniger gut für Grafike
Der Datacolor ColorReader EZ ist ein System bestehend aus einer Detektoreinheit und einer App auf Android oder Iphone. Die Detektoreinheit soll eine vorhandene Farbe (z.B. Fensterrahmen oder Wand) erkennen und es ermglichen, exakt die gleiche Farbe nachmischen zu lassen. Das ist einfacher, genauer und schneller, als sich erst Farbmuster zu besorgen, die dann eh wieder nicht genau passen.
Die Idee ist bestechend und der Preis absolut fair.
Grundstzlich funktioniert die erste Einrichtung mit einem Android-Handy schnell und einfach.
Ein erster Test am Fensterrahmen verluft gut, auf dem Handy wird eine Farbe angezeigt, die dem Fensterrahmen schon sehr hnlich sieht. Nach einer Messung werden immer die drei Farben angezeigt, die der Messung am nchsten kommen.
Wow – und das alles fr nur 69 Euro. Da htte man sich vor noch nicht allzulanger Zeit alle Finger nach geleckt. Soweit alles bestens. Allerdings war ich etwas verwirrt, denn ich kenne die Farbe des Fensterrahmens (ich habe die schon mal nachbestellt) und sie wurde nicht angezeigt.
Aber jetzt bin ich angefixt und mache ich ein paar weitere Tests … und werde wieder auf den Boden der Tatsachen zurckgeholt.
1) Wenn ich die Position am Fensterrahmen um ein paar mm ndere, wechselt gelegentlich auch die angezeigte Farbe. Ich vermute, dass hier auch die Poren der Holzfenster eine gewisse Verflschung bewirken.
Beim Messen an einer Wand geschieht genau das gleiche: auch die ist ja nicht gleichfrmig, sondern zeigt Poren und winzige nderungen am Untergrund. Hier bleibt einem also nichts anderes brig, als mehrfach zu messen und die Farbe zu whlen, die am hufigsten angezeigt wird.
2) Die grte Enttuschung wartet auf mich, als ich Farben aus meinem Pantone-Fcher messen mchte: diese Farbpalette kennt das System nicht. Grr. Dann eben HKS: Fehlanzeige, Und der RAL Farbfcher? Ja! Na wenigstens etwas.
Beim Versuch, Farbpaletten auf der Internetseite nachzuladen, werde ich ebenfalls enttuscht: keine Chance.
Dann hilft vielleicht der Umweg ber die angezeigten CMYK Werte um wenigstens dann die korrekte Farbe bestimmen zu knnen? Leider nur bedingt, denn wenn ich meine mit dem ColorReader ausgegebenen CMYK Werte vom Pantone oder HKS Fcher mit den offiziellen Werten vergleiche, weichen diese doch schon sichtlich ab.
Tja …. es ist halt kein Profimessinstrument… kostet ja auch nur 69 Euro. Vermutlich wre der ColorReader Pro besser geeignet.
Aber: fr den Hausgebrauch, also um eine Wandfarbe nachmischen zu lassen, um unterschiedliche, aber zueinander passende Farben zu finden, eignet sich das System hervorragend. Und genau dafr wird er angepriesen, mehr wird nicht versprochen – und dafr ist er gut geeignet, denn die fr den Hausgebrauch wichtigen Farbpaletten NCS und RAL sind enthalten.
Deswegen 5 Sterne.
Meine enttuschten Spezial-Sonderwnsche finden sich vermutlich in der Pro-Version fr 299 Euro wieder (die ich natrlich nicht bewerten kann).
Fazit: Fr den ausgewiesenen Zweck ist das System gut geeignet.
Strumento di qualità professionale. Dimensioni compatte e funzionamento eccellente. Ottima app.
VOTO COMPLESSIVO: 95/100
IL LETTORE:
Attrezzo geniale nella sua semplicit che sfrutta le propriet di un lettore ottico tradotte in un interfaccia, per telefonino e per ogni sistema operativo, che ce ne d i risultati. Entra nel palmo di una mano completamente ed il sensore in alto sulla superficie inferiore, leggero e funziona davvero bene! Il tutto si svolge all’interno del dispositivo elettronicamente e basta poggiarlo sulla superficie di ci che si vuole valutare per avere il riscontro sulla app sul telefono. La valutazione espressa in app anche in codice. Tale codice valido e riconosciuto internazionalmente e le macchine come il tintometro, cos come le mazzette cartacee con le sfumature di colore, usano quegli stessi codici ma sono decisamente pi ingombranti e obsoleti ormai.
LA MIA ESPERIENZA D’USO:
Che sia per casa o per mestiere questo attrezzo senza dubbio di eccellente fattura ed altrettanto eccellente nel funzionamento. Il riconoscimento dei colori quanto di pi veritiero si possa avere ed sicuramente un metodo migliore rispetto alle alternative ormai antiquate ed obsolete che sono ben pi grandi e di molto pi imprecise. Una rivoluzione nel calcolo della colorazione e che la rende ormai pi semplice e pratica. Il meccanismo reso perfettamente. Prodotto eccellente.

An absolute must have for a decorator or interior designer ( profi and enthusiast)!
Why or why did I not have this item when I was doing my living room? It would have avoided so many tiny mishaps that actually rub me the wrong way every time I glance over them! So, what you get is a device a bit bigger than your credit card and as thick as a slim wallet that is incredibly easy to use and is unbelievably precise in matching colours of anything and everything, providing you with exact combo of paint that you can take to your local hardstore to get the most perfect mix!
You can literally scan the pattern on your feature wall and when in your local homestore, you can use it to find the most perfectly matched scatter cushions or an ornament that will match your wall to the letter!
To get it all started , download an app and…literally follow the steps on the screen…
I did record a video to show you this clever little thingy in action, but Amazon did not let it through, so you will have to trust me when I say, it is a fantastic! Fantastic item!

Appareil performant mais un catalogue des marques à enrichi
Cet appareil est trs facile d utilisation, pour cela il faut en premier lieu tlcharger l application Color Reader et connecter l appareil en Bluetooth.
Appliquer le lecteur sur une surface plane, appuyer sur le bouton et la lecture est quasi instantane.
L appareil propose 3 correspondances, jusqu ici tout est parfait l exception que les marques proposes sont plutt difficile trouver, certainement pas au magasin de bricolage du coin moins de faire faire sa couleur suivant le RAL ce qui se fait couramment maintenant mais c est plus cher.
Une fonction qui me parat en revanche trs intressante c est la palette de couleur propose avec la couleur scanne ce qui vitera les fautes de got.
En conclusion cet appareil se rvle plutt efficace et pratique mais il le serait parfait si le catalogue des marques s enrichissait des marques courantes qu on trouve dans les magasins de bricolage.
garnicht beka
Ich finde die App und das Gert echt gut gelungen und kann vorher sowas garnicht.
App lies sich einfach installieren mit ein Android Handy und auch das verbinden war ok.
Die Farbpaletten rauszusuchen und zu vergleichen fr mich war ein bisschen undurchsichtig.
Beim aussuchen zeigt er die passenden Farben an 3 an der Anzahl und lsst sich eingrenzen.
So kann ich im Baumarkt meine richtigen Farben finden und auch nachkaufen.
Mi incuriosiva questo prodotto Datacolor ColorReader EZ al punto che non ho esitato ad acquisirlo dalla lista Vine.
In sostanza altro non che un sensore in grado di leggere le superfici e stabilire, con una eccellente precisione, il colore della vernice ed individuarne il tipo di collezione, nell’ambito di un database di vernici e case produttrici a disposizione.
Il lettore, dotato di LED, inserito in una “tavoletta” in materiale plastico (dimensione cm. 8 x 4,5 spessore cm. 1,5) con un pulsante multifunzione (on/off/lettura) molto evidente situato sulla parte superiore, mentre nella parte posteriore, per intenderci quella che andr a contatto con la superficie da “leggere”, posizionato, opportunamente protetto da uno sportellino, il sensore di lettura. Il prodotto alimentato da due batterie CR 2032 gi inserite nel corpo, solamente da attivare distaccando la linguetta.
Per far funzionare il dispositivo necessario installare la app “Color Reader”, disponibile gratuitamente sia per telefoni Android sia per iOS, tramite la quale il dispositivo, una volta acceso, si collegher via Bluetooth al telefono per poi sviluppare le varie funzioni.
Il pairing con il telefono immediato ma subito dopo la app segnaler la necessit di calibrare il dispositivo (seguire le istruzioni) e, una volta completata tale fase, “datacolor” pronto per la lettura della superficie.
Per effettuare ci necessario aprire lo sportellino che cela il lettore, quindi appoggiare il dispositivo sulla superficie e, premendo il tasto sul medesimo, attivare la lettura ( il comando di lettura pu essere anche impartito dalla app).
La risposta sul telefono immediata con evidenza della tipologia pi probabile e il tipo di collezione di colore tra le seguenti:
RAL, Akzo Nobel, Sherwin Williams, Miltonia, Brillux GmbH,Rust-Oleum, NCS, Farrow & BallEinzA Farben, STO, Savage Universal, Duha, Valspar.
E’ possibile peraltro escludere, tramite app, alcune collezioni di colore circoscrivendone l’ambito (es. solo RAL).
A questo punto possono essere effettuate una serie di funzioni quali:
* salvataggio della lettura con aggiornamento di uno storico sempre a disposizione per eventuali necessit;
* evidenziare le mazzette elettroniche dei colori a cui fa riferimento la collezione individuata;
* evidenziare i colori coordinati con quello letto;
* salvare il campione;
* creare una palette successivamente richiamabile.
Inoltre possibile fare drill-down sulle caratteristiche relativamente ai parametri CIE Lab (standard della International Commission on Illumination del 1976) , RGB (modello di colori di tipo additivo come somma dei tre colori Rosso, Verde e Blu) ed Hex (informazioni sui colori inclusi i modelli di colore – RGB, HSL, HSV e CMYK -, colori triadici, colori monocromatici e colori analoghi generando anche un semplice codice css per il colore selezionato), parametri questi di interesse per i professionisti delle vernici. In caso di prolungato inutilizzo, “datacolor” si spegne da solo.
A mio giudizio un prodotto molto interessante, pratico e semplicissimo da usare. Magari sarebbe da verificare l’affidabilit delle letture con qualche professionista confrontando le care e sempre affidabili mazzette.
Per quanto mi riguarda posso solo dire che le vernici dei muri della mia abitazione, tutte in varianti di RAL, sono state individuare in modo estremamente preciso.

Handy for crafters wanting to colour match
This is a super handy little device for crafters/sewests/quilters looking to colour match. While the main point of it is to match paint colours, the app provides RGB, hex, and CIELAB colour information. This info is super handy when comparing fabrics, paints, papers, etc.
The main use for this, of course, is for matching paint colours. The app comes loaded with the palettes for several brands like Behr, Benjamin Moore, and Sherwin Williams. We recently painted our home with a few different shades of Benjamin Moore paint and the reader was able to correctly identify two of the shades, and picked a near identical shade for the third colour. With this in mind, I feel like this device is best to use if you want a paint colour very similar to what you are scanning, but I wouldn’t use it to pick the right colour to, say, repaint a small section of a wall.
Do be aware that the results given by the device can change reading to reading depending on the ambient light and the pressure you are applying to the device when doing the reading.

Super Sympa 😉
Une petite sonde de couleur qui se configure en 10s avec son smartphone, et qui tient dans la poche ! Un outils vraiment pratique dans la vie de tous les jours et surtout lorsqu’on on cherche dcorer une pice de la maison. En effet, l’application vous proposera toute une palettes de couleurs en harmonie avec la couleur analyse, vraiment sympa !
ésultat mitigé
Bonjour,
l’ide est trs bonne et le produit est vraiment pas mal du tout, il est petit, discret et il se glisse dans une poche pour un transport facile.
L’utilisation est simple, on a l’appareil, on prend l’application maison datacolor, on met le petit appareil sur un mur de couleur on appuie sur le bouton et a retranscrit la couleur sur son mobile avec quelques informations complmentaires comme un nom, une nuance, le code hexadecimal de la peinture et autres …
L’application est perfectible, elle propose quand mme des couleurs quivalentes, si la surface brille trop, l’appareil vraiment du mal lire la couleur.
Aprs il est possible que j’attendais trop de ce petit appareil, je m’attendais a ce qu’il trouve toujours la couleur exacte et pas une autre chaque usage mais non.
Nanmoins c’est quand mme pratique pour avoir toujours avec soit une ide de la couleur souhait et cela peut tre pratique pour assortir avec des rideaux ou autres voir de la dcoration d’intrieur.
Handy for crafters wanting to colour match
This is a super handy little device for crafters/sewests/quilters looking to colour match. While the main point of it is to match paint colours, the app provides RGB, hex, and CIELAB colour information. This info is super handy when comparing fabrics, paints, papers, etc.
The main use for this, of course, is for matching paint colours. The app comes loaded with the palettes for several brands like Behr, Benjamin Moore, and Sherwin Williams. We recently painted our home with a few different shades of Benjamin Moore paint and the reader was able to correctly identify two of the shades, and picked a near identical shade for the third colour. With this in mind, I feel like this device is best to use if you want a paint colour very similar to what you are scanning, but I wouldn’t use it to pick the right colour to, say, repaint a small section of a wall.

Simple utilisation, mais la précision dépend la surface...
Encore une autre dcouverte: identificateur de couleur!
Il est livr un appareil avec piles installes (2 boutons CR2032) et prte utiliser: juste installer une application Color Reader et connecter via Bluetooth et suivre l’instruction (il demande de calibrer d’abord), et en suite juste poser sur la surface et appuyer le bouton, et voil le rsultat s’affiche.
Il faut coller sur la surface pour avoir un rsultat prcis, mais cela dpend de la surface: sur la surface brillante comme le papier peinte en vinyle un peu lisse, il ne donnait pas la bonne couleur.
Et sur les tissus un peu brillant, ou pais, il ne donnait pas la prcision….
Donc ce n’est pas un appareil de rfrence, mais un appareil qui aidera dterminer/trouver la couleur et avoir une ide de harmonisation avec la couleur pour une ralisation.
L’appareil s’teint tout seul au bout un certain temps d’inactivit.
J’aime bien la simplicit d’utilisation et la concept.
Misst binnen Sekunden und endlich kann Man(n) mitrede
Das Gert ist schnell einsatzbereit. Man muss lediglich die APP installieren, das Gert mit dem Smartphone koppeln (per Bluetooth) und schon kann es losgehen. Die bentigte Batterie ist bereits eingelegt.
Die App ist selbsterklrend und leicht zu bedienen.
Die Farbe wird bestimmt, indem man das Gert auf die gewnscht Farbe legt und den Knopf an der Oberseite drckt. Binnen Sekunden zeigt einem die App an, um welche Farbe es sich handelt.
Ob das Ergebniss jetzt bis ins kleinste Detail stimmt, kann ich nicht beurteilen, aber es ist schon immer sehr nah dran und wenn man nur auf das Smartphone guckt, muss man auch sagen, dass das Display ja auch nicht kalibriert ist. Hier sind also kleine Abweichungen auch normal.
Bei der ersten Nutzung, bekommt man von der App den Hinweis, dass man das Gert kalibieren soll. Das erledigt man ganz einfach, indem man die Abdeckklappe geschlossen lsst und die Kalibrierung durchfhrt.
Aus unserer Sicht jedenfalls ein einwandfreies Produkt, welches seinen Zweck erfllt und vondem ich bis vor kurzem nicht einmal wusste, dass es sowas berhaupt gibt. Praktisch ist es jedenfalls allemal.
I tested the Datacolor color reader using a large number of paint chip samples from Home Depot and Lowes. On darker colors the camera was virtually 100% correct. The beauty of this system is that it has a library off all the paint colors of all better known paint brands. You can dial in the paint brand or brands you want to test out and then use the camera to “shoot” the paint chips you have from that brand. As I noted, for darker colors the camera could name the exact brand/color AND provide you with the paint mix code.
The camera did struggle a bit with very light colors, however. And it seemed the lighter the color (towards white white) the less accurate it was. The camera would still give you a very close match…sometimes the exact color of the sample and sometime it listed the correct color as its “second choice”. But even if it didn’t have the exact color code I believe the code it gave would be so close you could not detect the difference with the naked eye.
Where the camera really struggled, however, was with extremely rough surfaces. And this comes as no surprise since the product description clearly states the paint surface must be relatively smooth to get an accurate reading. Interestingly, the camera worked perfectly on the textured walls of our living room giving the exact paint code for those recently painted walls. However, when I tried it on our exterior stucco, the results were not at all close. For such rough surface I believe you are better off just getting paint samples and eyeballing it.
But for smoother surfaces this color reader can be a valuable tool.
Useful for professionals
This wee device came in a simple plastic packaging which wasn’t really impressive for the price you pay for device. Easy to download software on ur mobile and very easy to connect the device. Comes with a battery already in the device. No lanyard supplied with the device.
I’m not a professional so I thought it would be nice to have one in the house for some domestic use. Not very easy to understand for a non professional. It gives you reading in no time but they are not 100% accurate. Instructions are limited so you actually struggle to understand what is what.
Another problem with the device that there is no power off switch. It stays on for a while before it goes to standby mode automatically.
Overall a good pocket size colour reader for professional who can actually understand the language.
funziona, ma la stanza va illuminata nel modo corretto per evitare errori
Questo dispositivo veramente molto utile.
Vi porto subito l’esempio, io 10 anni fa mi sono trovato a dare una rinfrescata ai muri di casa e ho scelto un color tortora per alcune pareti, mentre per altre il bianco classico infine una stanza di color celeste tiffany.
Ora a distanza di 10 anni non ho pi la vernice che utilizzammo all’epoca.
Ho chiaramente mantenuto il codice che il negoziante mi ha fornito (visto che l’abbiamo composto su scelta visiva) ma se dovessi proprio trovarlo, potrei utilizzare questo prodotto per scansionare la parete e tornare al colore d’origine.
Partiamo col presupposto che il colore, se avete una camera molto assolata si pu deteriorare nel tempo e non essere fedele come agli inizi.
Nel caso mio per fortuna non cos.
Altro problema da verificare che la stanza sia illuminata da una luce naturale 5400K in modo tale da avere una resa cromatica pi fedele possibile.
A questo punto andiamo a fare la scansione e prendiamo il codice corrispondente (che ci verr trasferito attraverso il bluetooth del telefono , tramite l’apposita applicazione.
E’ chiaro che non avrete mai al 100% il colore reale, per vi ci avvicinerete molto.
Se invece andrete a prendere misure approssimative con una luce non ideale non otterrete la stessa cosa ve lo dico da subito (immaginate che anche una leggera variante della stanza potrebbe compromettere tutto.
Strumento per identificare il colore della pittura che abbiamo in casa
Non pensavo che esistesse in commercio un prodotto del genere, che ci potesse dar una mano nell’identificare, nella maniera corretta, il colore della pittura che abbiamo nelle pareti di casa e non solo.
Questo piccolo strumento, ci aiuter proprio in questo.
Sar in grado di misurare, qualsiasi colore che presente sulle pareti di casa nostra, in modo da suggerirci quello che pi si avvicina ad esso e non rischiare di sbagliare.
Il prodotto si utilizza in abbinamento all’app ColorReader, da scaricare sia per Android che per Iphone ed installare sul nostro smartphone.
Tramite il suo aiuto, potremo avere a disposizione circa tre scelte possibili e corrispondenti al colore che abbiamo in casa, in base alle marche di vernice pi utilizzate sul mercato.
Avremo vari colori coordinati ed anche varie combinazioni di colori, da utilizzare, per poter giungere al colore specifico delle pareti.
L’individuazione del colore sar immediata, basta avvicinare lo strumento alle pareti e sar anche abbastanza affidabile.
La corrispondenza dei colori definita tramite l’aiuto e l’utilizzo dei valori di colore Cielab, Hex e RGB, in modo da rendere facile il lavoro di progettazione digitale.
Facile da utilizzare e molto utile.
Consiglio l’acquisto, specialmente a chi, desidera rinnovare la pittura di casa, ma non ricorda il colore ed il codice preciso!
Sbagliare o indovinare la giusta pitturazione, non sar pi un problema!

It works most of the time.
My walls have been painted varying shades of yellow for longer than the backup paint has lasted. I have a few spots on the walls that need a touchup but I know trying to guess the color is a fool’s errand. This device sometimes got the color right the first time and other times, it wasn’t even in the ballpark. I would try a few more times and eventually, it pulled a close match. I went and bought the samples and they did in fact, match!
Because I like to explore, I used this on the computer to match colors on websites, furniture, clothing, etc. and to my surprise, it did an amazing job of color matching, the first time, almost every time. So, my suggestion is that although this tool is perhaps intended specifically for wall/house paint, there are other ways that it can be used if you think outside the box.
Works well, with a couple quirks.
This is really easy to use. Install the ColorReader app, turn the device on, and it will find it automatically and connect. You answer a few short registration questions, update the colour palettes (automatic) and it’s ready to go. At this point you just hold the device up to a wall (or anything else, really) and either press the read button in the app or the button on the device directly and nearly instantly you’ll get a reading of the colour on your phone.
I have about a 50% success rate in it getting the exact paint colour and manufacturer correct in my house, but it was last painted 4 years ago with Benjamin Moore colours. I was impressed it got some of them exactly right at all. The ones it didn’t get right, the colour picked up looks almost identical to me anyway and I think in most cases would probably be “good enough” for homeowners looking for a match. I like that it even gives you the colour in the app in terms of RGB and HEX values in case you’re trying to use these colours digitally – a nice touch.
Other than not getting the colour 100% correct (which I admit could just as well be a mixing error when my paints were made than anything) the most major annoyance with this has been that it sometimes randomly disconnects from the app and at least on my phone, is kind of difficult to get it to connect again without force closing the app all the way down, waiting for the device to go back to sleep (automatic) and then starting over. Even though that’s kind of annoying, I don’t think it’s a deal breaker.
Pour un usage Amateu
L’appareil fonctionne bien pour une utilisation assez novice. Il est fourni avec sa pile CR3203 qu’il suffit d’insrer, puis tlcharger l’application ddie sur smartphone et c’est parti, on doit ensuite pointer l’objet analyser et appuyer sur le bouton, l’application donnera alors des prcisions sur la couleur et proposera des produits correspondants.
Du coup, si vous voulez accorder la couleur de votre chambre une dcoration ou un rideau, cet outil vous fournira le code HEX (hexadcimal ou HEXA) pour pouvoir commander la bonne nuance sur internet ou auprs de votre magasin de bricolage.
La grande question est de savoir si cet appareil est assez prcis : alors j’ai essay plusieurs nuances et je pense qu’il est moyennement fiable, d’o le fait de le recommander un usage domestique et non professionnel.
Utile per professionisti
Il prodotto funziona molto bene, basta scaricare l’app dedicata, accendere il bluetooth e viene rilevato all’istante.
La rilevazione del colore pressoch istantanea, basta appoggiarlo sulla superficie piana da verificare, premere il pulsante e dopo pochi secondi vedrete il colore a video, con tanto di nomi e codici della vernice.
Molto comodo, come avere una palette di colori ma senza doverne portare dietro vari kg. Veloce, affidabile, si calibra in un istante.
Ovviamente utile per professionisti che devono verificare varie volte al giorno i colori, per un privato ci vedo poca utilit.
Si alimenta con batteria a bottone, di sicuro andr sostituita raramente.

Lots of manufacturers to select from
Pros:
Nice and compact
Easy to sync to my phone
Many manufacturers/vendors to select from
Like the complementary color feature
Cons:
Very thin plastic
This is such a fun thing to use. I love the fact that it tells you all the manufacturers/vendors that supply the colors analysed. This works fast and analyses the options just a fast. Easy to use and sync with your phone. I’ve actually checked and verified the colors and its almost bang on. A little concerned about how thin the product is. It really is not made very well and I can see it getting cracked pretty quickly. All in all, a fun and accurate reading of colors!
If you are doing any type of work with color, this little device is pretty neat for identifying colors. It’s very easy to pair it with a mobile device (I tested on Android), and it’s very easy to do spot color readings.
The app is itself pretty easy to use, and you can trigger a reading by using the button on the reader or via the application.
DataColor does have a database of paint colors from major brands, but it’s pretty small, in my opinion. It also does not have the Pantone database (I’m guessing that’s because of licensing fees which would ultimately raise the price of the device).
Personally, I really like that it provides hexadecimal and RGB values so that you can take real world colors and integrate them into your digital designs.
Its biggest downside has very little to do with the device itself. The problem is color calibration on your mobile device’s screen. Apple devices are very good for color accuracy, but Android devices are all over the map. On my Huawei P20 Pro, the colors don’t look exactly like the captured color (because of how I set it up), and when I enter in the hex code on my computer monitor, which is calibrated more accurately than my phone, the colors are a little different there too. For me, that’s not a big issue, but for someone who cares about accuracy, they’re going to need to spend some time calibrating the accuracy of their phone display and any other display they’re using the colors with.
This is obviously a niche device, and because it’s the entry level product in the ColorReader product line, it’s also a consumer grade device, as its first match accuracy is only around 85%. Pro-level users will definitely want to spend the extra money on a ColorReader or ColorReader Pro (over 92% first match accuracy).
Having said that, for any hobbyist who is working with colors a lot, this is a fantastic device that doesn’t break the bank.
The Good Parts
– Very easy to set up and use
– Batteries included (2 x CR2032)
– Mobile app (tested on Android) is user friendly
– Mobile app provides CIE Lab, RGB and Hex values
– Can help match colors with major paint brands (provided Datacolor has access to their latest database)
– App can recommend colors that coordinate with the colour in a reading
– Reasonably priced for what it does
Hit or Miss
– 85% or better accuracy, which is fair for the price. You can get 92% or better accuracy if you spend more on a higher model ColorReader
– Requires use of a mobile app on iOS or Android
– The paint database is not as comprehensive as I’d like, especially for Canadians
– Your user experience could be limited by the colour calibration of your phone’s display and any other display that you are using the colours on, as colours may look off. This is most likely a problem with your displays or device setup, not the DataColor reader.
– Batteries are not rechargeable (the higher models – at $129 MSRP and $329 MSRP are rechargeable). On the other hand CR2032 cells are pretty inexpensive. Whether it’s worth upgrading to a rechargeable model will depend on how often you use the reader in the real world, and whether you need the higher first match accuracy of a higher model.

I can see how amazing this would be for paint matching. We're in a rental and need to cover some patches on the wall, and I tried to match, but every inch, this would change and recommend something different, also with a slight green tinge, but the walls are off-white. So, I would rate this lower, but I am actually using this for a totally different purpose! I'm working on a website for crafting, and this is invaluable for finding the hex color of inks and markers! I am a long-time web designer, and often, people want me to match logos and other images for websites, and this is just the tool needed for that! It also has RGB codes, and supposedly Pantone, but I am trying to find out how to access that. I'm super happy with this for my particular use even if it's iffy about paint colors!

Nifty Gadge
Super easy to set up with the app and also use. It’s somewhat accurate at matching colours, I did test it around the house which is mainly in farrow and ball colours and it matched most of them correctly. It does depend highly on the lighting on the room as to what colour gets matched with.
I think this is actually best to match colours in wallpaper. If you’re doing an accent wall with wallpaper and want to do a complimentary colour for the other walls this gadget is great and I like that it gives more than one colour match.
I also like that you can create colour “stories” within the app to keep track of colours you want for different rooms or projects.

Très pratique
Quand nous avons achet notre maison, nous tions sous le charme des couleurs choisies par l’ancien propritaire. Mais voil, dans les angles du mur, la peinture a saut un peu avec le temps et hlas l’ancien propritaire ne nous avait pas laiss un pot de peinture nous permettant au moins de trouver la mme rfrence. Avec le temps on s’tait rsign devoir bientt repeindre toute la maison. Sauf que l, nous avons trouv la rfrence qu’il nous fallait grce ce petit gadget qui nous rend un grand service. Une fois la couleur capture, il la restitue en codes (RAL ou RGB) ainsi qu’en rfrence de peinture. Sur l’application installer sur votre tlphone, vous conserverez toutes les infos sur les couleurs captures, c’est comme un nuancier portable. Vous avez instantanment la marque et la rfrence qu’il vous faut. C’est assez bluffant. Par contre, pour avoir une mesure trs prcise je vous recommande de capturer la couleur en plein jour, les rsultats semblent plus justes.
Je vais le garder dans mon sac car nous comptons refaire la peinture de la cuisine et cherchons des ides droite gauche. L si on voit quelque chose qui nous plat dans un magasin ou chez des amis, on pourra capter la couleur et retrouver sa rfrence. Un jeu d’enfant tellement c’est simple utiliser et ludique en plus.
Trotz kleiner Schwäche
Der Farberkenner arbeitet mit einer schnell heruntergeladenen und eingerichteten App, auch die Verbindung zwischen dieser und dem Scanner luft zgig.
Allerdings kommt es nach Ausschalten des Smartphones regelmig zu Problemen zwischen beiden, das ist rgerlich.
Die App bietet die Mglichkeit, erkannte Farben als RAL anzugeben. Heit ich kann mir die so im Baumarkt mischen lassen, ohne weiteres Aufheben. Das ist eine sehr willkommene Option, weil ich zum Beispiel im Einrichtungshaus nicht die Mglichkeit habe, Farben genau zu eruieren.
Nice to have sind auch die Anzeige von drei passenden Farben und der Komplementrfarben, letzteres hilft beim Einrichten und Ankleiden.
Ich habe verschiedene Materialien getestet und war immer mit dem Ergebnis einverstanden. Nur darf die gesuchte Farbe nicht hinter oder in Glas sein, dann geht nichts mehr.
Der Fehler lsst sich nicht beheben, aber reproduzieren, deshalb muss ich hier einen Stern abziehen.
Funktion gut bis sehr gut, Verarbeitung des Gehäuses eher befriedigend
Gleich vorab, fr ein Produkt in diesem Preisbereich htte ich mir eine bessere Verarbeitung erwnscht. Das Gehuse ist simpel und nicht sehr wertig in der Haptik. Bei einem teuren und kleinen Messinstrument das in den meisten Fllen in der Nhe einer Baustelle oder bei Renovierungs-Arbeiten steht, ist es mir sehr wichtig, das es ber ein ausreichend dimensionierte und sichere Transportbox verfgt und das Gert sehr wertvoll aussieht, denn sonst nimmt es ein Mitarbeiter in die Hand und schmeit es in die nchste Farbkiste. Harsche Worte, aber leider tatschlich selbst so schon erlebt.
Haben Sie aber andere Arbeitsbedingungen und laufen nicht in die Gefahr das Gert versehentlich zu beschdigen ist die sehr einfache Bedienung und die Funktion sehr gut. Die App ist einfach und werbefrei, eine Verbindung mit dem Gert ist ebenfalls schnell erledigt und selbsterklrend.
Sehr gut ist auch, dass bei mehrfachen Messungen auch das exakt gleiche Ergebnis resultiert. Bei Glatten einfarbigen Wandfarben ist das Ergebnis der Originalfarbe sehr sehr nah bzw komplett korrekt. In jedem Fall wird es bei der “Beistreichung” einer Wand keinen sichtbaren Farbunterschied geben. Bei Lacken ist das Ergebnis etwas weniger genau und kann teilweise nicht, oder nur nach einigen Versuchen erhoben werden. Wenn es dann aber vorliegt, ist es durchaus eine gute Hilfe.
Not really pro-accurate but I can see this being useful for artistic people
After testing this device from a novice decorator point of view, I can see this being useful in some situations but probably not for everyone.
The device itself is small powered by an included CR3203 button battery. There is an app to download, and once switched on it will connect to the app, then all you have to do is to place it on the object you want the colour test and press the button, the app will then give you the colour information and you may choose the best matching colour products that they recommend from a library.
It seems simple enough. However, I am not sure about a couple of things:
– The library of colour products seem to gear towards German market, I only recognise Valspar products that I can get from B&Q and their paints are not cheap
– The device has no ‘off’ button, once it is on you will need to wait for it to turn off by itself
The colour information given seems to be comprehensive,
As to how close this is matching I can only trust their ad which is >85%, whereas the other devices from this company have higher accuracy >90%+ . So if you are a colour professional I don’t think you will go for this model.
I can see that this will be useful if there is a colour that you really like matching from an object or a custom mix, say you want your room matching the colour of your favourite vase, this device will help you with the colour information (hex code, RAL etc) and you may take this code to shops for them to mix.
It seems to fill a very narrow gap in the market, people probably just go for the readily available colours for a close match. But if you are really colour sensitive, or you have colour weakness that you are not able to match any colour correctly with your eyes, then this device can help.

Gutes Gerät, etwas instabile Bluetooth Verbindung
Das Gert an sich funktioniert gut. Hab die Erfassung mal mit einer RAL Karte getestet. Wenn man in der App nur die RAL Farben als Ergebnisse anzeigen lsst, dann erkennt das Gert immer den richtigen Farbton. Whlt man in der App mehrere Farbpaletten aus, dann wird auch mal eine andere Farbe als besser passend angezeigt.
Generell zeigt die App immer die 3 am besten passenden Farben an. Zudem kann man sich beispielsweise auch die Komplementr Farben anzeigen lassen.
Das Problem ist allerdings leider, dass die App nach einem Neustart das Gert oft nicht findet. Das ist leider etwas nervig.
Ansonsten eine gute Sache, auch der Preis ist in Ordnung.
Sehr nützlich nach einiger Fehlerbehebung
Ich war anfangs etwas enttuscht von der Farbgenauigkeit dieses Gerts, bis mir klar wurde, dass der Selbstkalibrierungsprozess etwas ungenau ist. Um es zu kalibrieren, sollten Sie die Abdeckung ber dem Sensor schlieen, damit ein Weiwert davon abgelesen werden kann. Ich vermute jedoch, dass das Wei der Kunststoffabdeckung etwas unrein ist, da ich nach dem Kalibrieren verschiedene Farben abgetastet habe, und die Farbtne immer waren etwa 5 bis 10 Grad von dem entfernt, was sie auf dem Farbkreis sein sollten. Zum Beispiel sah ein reines Rot, das ich probiert habe, leicht rosa aus.
Als ich anstelle der empfohlenen Methode das Gert kalibrierte, indem ich mit dem Sensor ein weies Farbfeld auf einer Farbkalibrierungskarte berhrte, erhielt ich viel genauere Ergebnisse. Es war auch nicht der Bildschirm meines Telefons, der die falsche Farbe zeigte. Zusammen mit einem Farbfeld zeigt Ihnen die Smartphone-App die RGB- und Lab-Farbwerte der Farbe an, die Sie abtasten, sodass Sie diese problemlos in ein beliebiges Zeichenprogramm einwhlen und die abgetastete Farbe auf verschiedenen Monitoren anzeigen knnen. Alle zeigten das gleiche Problem, bis ich es mit meiner weien Referenz kalibrierte.
Ich habe das ColorReader EZ-Modell, das immer mit einem Smartphone verwendet werden muss. Das ist in Ordnung, aber ich denke, es wre schn, wenn Sie mehrere verschiedene Farben vom Gert abtasten und sie dann alle auf einmal sehen knnten, wenn Sie spter eine Verbindung zum Telefon herstellen, insbesondere, weil ich festgestellt habe, dass die Verbindung zwischen dem Gert und meinem Telefon ein bisschen unzuverlssig ist.
Aufgrund meiner Erfahrung gibt es offensichtlich Raum fr Verbesserungen, aber ich werde keine Sterne abziehen, da ich immer noch denke, dass es ein erstaunliches Stck Technologie ist.
This tiny device (about the size of a box of mints) is powered by two standard CR2032 button batteries (provided). It has a single button which is used to power it up (the button then lights up green) and trigger a reading. It connects to a smartphone (iOS or Android) over Bluetooth with the manufacturer’s ColorReader app.
The app is very polished and a pleasure to use. The designers clearly put a lot of thought into it, and it shows. Initial connection to the device is ridiculously easy (if you’ve ever used bluetooth accessories for your phone you know that it can be hit or miss), and using the app itself is very simple despite advanced capabilities.
The workflow is very simple: position the reader right against a surface to read, press the button, and presto! the color reading is added to your history. Color readings can be added to palettes you can name, and they can be matched to paint collections from popular vendors (Behr, Sherwin Williams, Ace, Benjamin Moore, and many others). Once you pick a match, you can hit the “Coordinate Colors” button and find matching colors using a variety of schemes, and save these to a named palette. Then all you have to do is go buy those paints!
There are some expected limitations, such as the impossibility to accurately read metallic colors (colorimeters capable of doing this are considerably more expensive and complex) and requires a flat surface for an accurate reading. I am using it to read paint color on textured walls, and the readings vary (slightly) depending on the reading spot. I contacted the manufacturer via their website and received a prompt and detailed reply, explaining how to best handle the situation (I know it’s not going to be perfect, all I need is close enough)
Such a tiny, inexpensive colorimeter is just unbelievable, and the quality and ease of use of the app are top notch.
If you do any sort of home improvement, interior decoration, that requires paint color matching, it’s an inexpensive and invaluable tool, that also happens to be fun to use. Highly recommended.
good tool for decorating
This is a great tool for when you are decorating, it matches colour so well and soe aay to connect to your phone once you get the app. It is easy to use once you get the hang of it.
Mein Mops in Glory Grey / Spannendes Gadge
Was ist denn das fr ein Gert? Das werden sich sicherlich einige Leser fragen. Nutzer anderer DataColor Produkte, knnen hiermit sicherlich mehr anfangen. So war es dieses Produkt als Spyder-Nutzer keine Neuheit. Mit demColorReader kann man genau das tun, was der Name sagt: Farben einlesen.
Ich denke, diese Funktion ist fr alle Farben-Freunde sehr interessant. Auch fr Hausbauer und Renovierer halte ich dieses Produkt fr sehr sinnvoll. Mir ging es nmlich schon oft so, dass ich irgendwo unterwegs war und dort eine ganz tolle Wandfarbe gesehen habe. Dann stellt man sich die Frage: Wo bekomme ich diese Farbe fr zu Hause her.
Mit dem ColorReader geht das ganz leicht. Er ist per Bluetooth ruckzuck mit meinem iPhone verbunden und mit einem Klick liest er die Farbe ein, auf die ich ihn halte. Sogar die meines Mopses. Das Gute an diesem Produkt ist, dass es den ermittelten Wert direkt mit Farbpaletten abgleichen kann. Dabei sind auch die Farben von Schner Wohnen, die sehr verbreitet sind. Die Farbe, die meinem Mops am Nchsten kommt ist Glory Grey von Schner Wohnen.
Ich finde dieses Gadget sehr ntzlich. Man kann zum Beispiel auch einfach Gegenstnde Einlesen und schauen, ob sie zur heimischen Wandfarbe passen. Natrlich ist dieses Gert nicht lebensnotwendig, aber wer gerade die Wnde neu streicht oder das Interieur erneuern mchte, der macht sich hiermit das Leben einfacher.
Wenn ich meckern msste, dann wrde ich es ber die Stromversorgung. Diese luft nmlich ber eine Knopfbatterie. Wre da nicht USB mit Akku mglich gewesen?
Insgesamt gibt es von mir eine Kaufempfehlung. Als nchstes werde ich mal meine Hautfarbe bestimmen. Dann kann ich mich im Adamskostm gut vor meiner Frau im Flur verstecken.

I have been waiting for ages for this to be invented. I remember years ago being in Home Depot where they had a "color analyser" thing by the paints. I do a ton of painting. But you could bring in a piece of fabric or what not and the color scanner thing would scan it and tell you which color paint to buy to match. I remember thinking then this should be something I can do from home someday. Well now I can do it from ANYWHERE. See a color you like out in the world? Scan it in seconds and BOOM you get 3 different options of paints to buy. Absolutely awesome to use when you have to do some touch ups in a room but have no paint. The people who had this house before me painted the bathroom a nice blue, but left no paint. Scan it with this and boom - now I can touch up all those spots from when I upgraded the hardware in there. So awesome. This is a godsend for anyone who does decorating and especially painting!!!

Für mich als Hobbyheimwerker völlig ausreichend
Hallo,
ich habe den Datacolor ColorReader EZ zum digitalen bestimmen und identifizieren von Farben im Rahmen des Amazon Vine Programm gestellt und bin nach meinen ersten Tests damit zufrieden.
Ich kannte die Firma Datacolor bis jetzt nur aus dem Fotobereich und nutze den Spyder Pro5 der Firma zur Kalibrierung meines Monitor zur Bildbearbeitung. Da Datalcolor hier zu den Marktfhrern zhlt dachte ich mir kann das Gert zum Messen und Erkennen von Farben auch nicht so schlecht sein.
Das Gert selbst ist nach dem Auspacken sofort Einsatzbereit man muss nur das App aus dem Play Store laden was ber den QR Code auf der Verpackung ohne Probleme gelingt und kurz einrichten was auch keine Probleme verursacht.
Nach dem Einrichten habe ich es bei eher schwierigem Umgebungslicht an dem Schrank auf dem Foto, den ich selbst berholt und lackiert habe, an verschiedenen Stellen getestet und die verschiedenen Messungen egal ob im braunen oder weiem Bereich waren immer sehr hnlich. Durch anklicken eines Messergebnis gibt das Handy den Farbton auf dem kompletten Bildschirm wieder so das man sich ganz gut entscheiden kann was man fr einen Farbton mischen lassen muss wenn man vielleicht etwas nacharbeiten mchte. Man kann aber zum Beispiel auch im Baumarkt Farbtne messen und hat sie dann auf dem Handy und muss danach keine dieser Farbprobenstreifen mit sich rumschleppen.
Fr mich ist als Hobbyheimwerker ist das Gert vllig ausreichend und ich gebe 5 Sterne, ob man so ein Gert aber wirklich bentigt muss jeder fr sich selbst entscheiden.
Funktioniert wirklich, für mich ein echter Problemlöser.
Was habe ich schon Farbkarten aus dem Baumarkt mit nach Hause geschleppt, war mir zu 100% sicher, das es diesmal passt. Aber Pustekuchen, nicht annhernd habe ich den Farbton unseres alten Treppengelnders getroffen. Wir haben es vor etwa 10 Jahren gestrichen und es gibt halt doch schon die eine oder andere Farbabplatzung die ich im Moment einfach nur mal schnell “flicken” mchte.
Nun wurde mir ber das Amazon-Vine-Programm dieses kleine Gert angeboten und ich muss zugeben, ich ahnte noch nicht mal, das so etwas berhaupt existiert. Aber schon alleine beim Lesen um was es sich hier handelt, wusste ich, ich muss schnell sein, damit auch dieses kleine Gertchen bei mir landet. Und ja, ich bin jetzt glcklicher Besitzer eines Datacolor ColorReader EZ, freu.
Nun muss man sich aber leider eine App herunterladen und sich noch dazu registrieren, ist was, was ich eigentlich sehr ungern tue, aber der Reiz so einfach an den richtigen Farbton heranzukommen war einfach strker. App heruntergeladen, notgedrungen registriert und mein Handy und der Colorreader haben sich erstaunlicherweise auch gleich gefunden. Ich habe ein Motorola-Handy, da kommt es schon mal vor, das es ein anderes Gert einfach mal nicht finden mag, aber hier hat es wirklich sofort funktioniert.
Nun habe ich gleich heute ausprobiert, ob das kleine Teil auch seine Arbeit tut und war erstmal enttuscht, hatte denn ausgerechnet ich ein Montags-Gert erwischt?? Nein, nein, ich lag einfach falsch damit, das ich die Farbe mit etwas Abstand einlesen msste. Das Gert muss direkt auf der Flche, von welcher der Farbton abgenommen werden soll aufliegen und dann funktioniert es auch. Sofort hatte ich meinen Farbton, das Handy hat ihn mir angezeigt, klar gibt es zum Bildschirm einen Hauch von Farbabweichung, aber ich war immer noch nher dran als mit meinen ganzen Farbkarten.
Jetzt geht’s damit in den Baumarkt, der Lack wird in matt und den ausgewhlten Farbton fr mich gemischt und den Flecken auf dem Treppengelnder geht es jetzt nunmehr an den Kragen.
Ich bin echt happy, das sich mein Problem jetzt so schnell gelst hat, ich war nmlich wirklich schon kurz vor dem Verzweifeln weil ich noch immer nicht den richtigen Farbton gefunden hatte. Von mir gibt es 5 Sterne trotz App und Registrierung.
Ce petit appareil est facile appairer avec le smartphone et l’application est simple.
On appuie sur le bouton, cach de la lentille relev et hop le rsultat apparat sur l’application.
J’ai donc essay avec l’enveloppe marron d’Amazon et le rsultat m’a surprise.
Je vous laisse juge des deux photos jointes.
Donc pour le moment, je le considre comme un gadget pas trs prcis.
Non perfetto in modo millesimale
In casa durante i lavori di ristrutturazione, dopo aver scelto il colore l’imbianchino ci ha fornito le informazioni necessarie riguardanti la tinta ,in modo da far riferimento per eventuali ritocchi .
Bene ahime abbiamo smarrito i colori della tinta ricrearne una identica pressoch complicato, visto che con il tempo la vernice si scurisce .
Con questo strumento ci ha un po’ semplificato la ricerca della giusta tonalit.
Arriva semplicemente corredato dalle istruzioni in inglese.
Ma l’uso abbastanza semplice ed intuitivo.
Bisogna innanzitutto scaricare l’app che troverete su entrambe le piattaforme “Color Reader , successivamente bisogna registrarsi e dopo calibrare il prodotto su una superficie piana.
E dopo pronta all’uso.
La precisione millesimale dal colore dal mio vedere questo prodotto non la garantisce fino in fondo ,ad esempio su colori accesi e vivaci li riconosce abbasta bene ,mentre quelli un po sbiaditi ricrea una tonalit simile ma non del tutto identica.
L’unica accortezza da eseguire durante l’uso di illuminare bene la zona ed evitare ombre ed effettuare pi di un test, in modo da garantire una omogeneit ottimale.
Questo rilevatore di colori prende come riferimento alcune delle pi grandi marche di vernici come Valspar oppure STO ed anche sistemi di riferimento comeRAL che per L’appunto un sistema europeo di corrispondenza di colori che indica i colori per vernici.
Consigliamo non solo a professionisti del settore ma anche a chi cerca una vernice adatta per ritocchi senza dover ricorrere a ridipingere tutta la parete.
Ziemlich genau...
Unser Elternhaus wurde vor ber 15 Jahren das letzte Mal angestrichen und es gibt keinen Farbcode mehr.
Im Zuge der kompletten Renovierung und Restauration wrden wir gerne die selben Farben und Farbtne verwenden um die Aussenfassade des Wohnhauses und die des Gartenhauses zu streichen. Erste Farbmischungen anhand von einem Stck Aussenputz im Baumarkt und anschlieendem Probestreichen waren nicht zufriedenstellend. Entweder war die Farbe zu hell, zu dunkel oder zu glnzend.
Passender weise durfte ich das ColorReader EZ testen und war direkt positiv berrascht, wie genau die Farbbestimmung letztendlich ist.
Das Farbmessgert bermittelt die erkannte Farbe an das Handy. Dort wird relativ genau die entsprechende Farbe dargestellt. In unserem Fall, hat im zweiten Versuch die vorgeschlagene Farbe gepasst!
Mit der entsprechenden Farbe oder dem Farbcode, habe ich mir im Baumarkt meine Wunschfarbe mischen lassen. Mit diesem Farbcode, kann ich mir jederzeit den gleichen Farbton mischen lassen.
Die dazugehrige APP funktioniert selbsterklrend und einfach und kann kostenlos heruntergeladen werden.
Ich persnlich finde das Gert genial. Es erleichtert das Anstreichen und lackieren ungemein. Einfach die Wunschfarbe scannen und im Fachhandel mischen lassen.. fertig .
Gutes empfehlenswertes System, genau und leicht anzuwende
Identificatore di colori
Quando si devono fare lavori in casa che richiedano di conoscere con precisione un colore per poterlo acquistare in tutta sicurezza questo strumento pu fare la differenza. Ma pu essere anche utilizzato per altre applicazioni come la computer graphic.
Secondo il produttore, capace di rilevare colori con una precisione superiore all’85%. Nel caso vi serva una precisione ancora superiore, oltre il 94%, bisogna valutare prodotti di fascia professionale come Datacolor ColorReader o Datacolor ColorReader Pro .
Non avendo alcun display, naturalmente necessit di un dispositivo come smartphone o tablet, ove sia installata l’app ColorReader, disponibile per Android >=6 e iOS >=9.3.
Il colore rilevato viene espresso nei formati CIELAB (detto anche CIE 1976, L*, a*, b*), RGB e HEX e viene salvato nell’app, dando modo di creare le proprie palette e condividerle con altre persone.
Per un corretto utilizzo la superficie deve essere pari e, naturalmente, di un colore uniforme.
L’alimentazione consiste in due batterie CR2032 (quelle a bottone) ovviamente sostituibili. Avrei preferito di gran lunga aver la possibilit di utilizzare batterie ricaricabili!
Il prezzo al 23 settembre 2020 di 69, sicuramente non poco per chi lo usa poche volte.
Erstaunlich genau aber lässlich
Als ich den ColorReader EZ von Datacolor zum ersten mal gesehen habe, drngte sich mir die Frage auf, wozu genau man dieses Gert bentigt.
Nun nachdem wir die Zimmer unserer Teenagertchter renoviert haben, hat sich mir die dahinterstehende Grundidee durchaus erschlossen. So wurden mir vor der letzten Renovierung von meinen Tchtern und meiner Frau allerlei Farbtne genannt in welchen die Wnde nach der Renovierung erstrahlen sollten, als ich sie aufgrund der von ihnen genannten doch sehr exotisch klingenden Namen der Farben verstndnislos anstarrte, wurden mir entsprechende Kleidungstcke und Gegenstnde gezeigt welche die entsprechenden Farben hatten bzw. deren Farbgebung der gewnschten Wandfarbe zumindest ziemlich nahe kam. Als ich jedoch mit den entsprechend im Baumarkt gemixten Farben zurckkam, erhielt ich Stirnrunzelnd erklrt, dass es sich bei der von mir gekauften Farbe um eine ganz andere als die gewnschte handle. Das ist nun etwa vier Jahre her. Als vor wenigen Tagen nun die nchste Renovierung der Gemcher unserer Teenager-Prinzessinnen anstand, zckte ich den ColorReader EZ und lie von ihm die gewnschte Farbe ermitteln und auf der Smartphone-App, welche im brigen einige Zugriffsrechte verlangt, anzeigen. Angezeigt wird neben dem Name der Farbe auch ein internationaler Code fr Wandfarben, welcher jedoch nur teilweise im Baumarkt erkannt wird, allerdings selbst wenn der Code fr eine der Farben nicht im Baumarkt erkannt wird, knnen die Baumarktangestellten dank der App einen sehr hnlichen Farbton anrhren. Und ja ich war wirklich berrascht, mit welcher Verlsslichkeit und Genauigkeit Farbtne erkannt und ermittelt werden
Soweit so gut also, aber manches mal, wrde auch schon helfen wenn die beteiligte Personen mit in den Baumarkt kmen, zumal es ja auch nicht immer exakt das Grau des Lieblingspulovers oder das Hintergrundgelb der besagten Werbeanzeige sein muss.
Aufgrund der sehr neugierigen App und der Tatsache das gewisse Farben in unterschiedlichen Baumrkten nicht bekannt sind und des relativ hohen Gertepreises werden es dann letztendlich “nur” vier Sterne fr eine recht ntzliche Spielerei.
Direkte Farberkennung Top, hinter Glas Flop, App sehr nützlich
Beim Auspacken war ich schon erfreut, dass die Blisterverpackung auf der Rckseite leicht und ohne Schere zu ffnen war.
Fr die Einrichtung die App herunterladen (bei mir Android), die Taste auf dem ColorReader EZ drcken und schon sind Smartphone und Gert verbunden und es kann mit dem Messen losgehen. Gleich die erste Farbe war ein Volltreffer, da sogar der Hersteller bereinstimmt und wir mit der Farbnummer auch gestrichen haben. Auch die Farbe des Leders hat der ColorReader sehr gut erkannt, dies ist besonders wichtig, wenn man mit der Farbe Akzente in Lederfarbe setzen mchte. So hat man z.B. die RAL Bezeichnung und kann sich die Farbe z.B. beim Maler oder im Baumarkt mischen lassen.
Wo der Reader absolut an seine Grenzen stt und die erkannte Farbe nichts mehr mit der original Farbe zu tun hat, ist bei Glas. Wir haben Glasmbel und wollten die Farbe auslesen um eine passende Wandfarbe zu finden. Dies klappte weder bei Tageslicht noch bei absoluter Dunkelheit. Daher gibt es von mir auch den Stern Abzug.
Jetzt zur App, diese zeigt auf Wunsch z.B. die Komplementrfarben fr optimalen Kontrast oder Monochrom zeigt verschiedene Abstufungen der gleichen Farbe. Es macht Spa, die Farben zu messen und dann in der App zu kombinieren und auszuprobieren.
Fazit: Fr die direkte Farberkennung, egal ob Wand, Karton, Leinwand, Leder, Holz, Kunststoff funktioniert bei uns einwandfrei. Sind die Farben hinter Glas ist die Messung leider fehlerhaft und auch bei Flchen, welche mit Klarlack berzogen sind, ist die Messung fehlerhaft.
Die App ist sehr hilfreich und speichert auch die gemessenen Farben, damit im Fachgeschft auch ohne ColorReader die richtige Farbe bestellt werden ka
Alles so schön bunt hier… ;-)
Dass Farben den Alltag bereichern, fr ein angnehmes Wohn- und Raumklima frderlich sind und auch der menschlichen Psyche ganz einfach gut tun ist wohl allgemein bekannt. Ob man nun kalte, warme, helle oder dunkle Farben mag, spielt dabei eigentlich keine Rolle. Wichtig ist, dass man sich bei der Farbauswahl wohl fhlt, und die Farben sich optisch und harmonisch ergnzen.
Da man die richtige” Farbe ohnehin nur zuhause am besten ermitteln bzw. identifizieren kann, sollte dabei klar sein. Wer z. B. bei der Tapetenwahl Rauhfaser mit Wei bevorzugt, hat nicht gerade eine groe Auswahl. Passend zu den Mbeln und der Einrichtung ist ein schner, warmer Farbton passender, aber welcher ? Hier kommt der ColorReader EZ” ins Spiel, denn dieser vereinfacht die Farbmessung bzw. die Farbbestimmung”, wie der Hersteller schn und treffend beschreibt.
Ob bei der Einrichtung im Neubau, vor der Renovierung, ob nur einzelne Rume oder beim Heinwerken und Basteln: es gibt diverse Anlsse, sich bei Farben und Konzepten vor einer Manahme genauestens zu entscheiden. Denn nachtrglich soll man mit dem Ergebnis zufriedeen sein, zumal es sicherlich einige Jahre auch so bleiben soll
Konkret haben wir das Gert als Basis fr einen Neuanstrich im Wohnzimmer genommen, der (leider) mal wieder ansteht. Da die Tapete gestrichen werden soll (also ohne neu tapezieren zu mssen), auerdem eine neue Couch-Garnitur angeschafft werden soll, war die Wahl vorerst gar nicht so einfach. Als Heimwerker wird natrlich selbst getrichen, whrend die Farbe vom Profi (Fachmarkt) kommt. Was vielleicht aufwndig klingt (Farbdatenwerte wie CIELAB, Hex und RGB), ist sehr komfortabel und praktsich, weil man neben konkreten Farben drei nchstgelegene Farben hinterlegter Farbfcher gngiger Farbmarken” erhlt und man passende Farben zu gemessenen Farbe vorgeschlagen bekommt. So kann man sich in gewissen Nunacen anders entscheiden, und hat gleich Vergleichswerte, die man z. B. am Tablet in Echtfarbe auswhlen kann.
Sicherlich sind ausgeliehene Farbkarten oder Farbmuster immer noch sinvoll, aber mithilfe des ColorReader EZ” nicht mehr wirklich notwendig. Denn hier kann man flexibler agieren und kann seine Sammlung bzw. Auswahl abspeichern, hat diese also bei Bedarf immer griffbereit. Natrlich sollte man bedenken, dass Farben in groer Flche stest noch anders wirken, als auf einem Farbmuster oder einem Tablet( Smartphone). Dennoch ist solch ein System sinnvoll, praktisch und somit nicht von der Hand zu weisen.
Um in den Genuss des kleinen Gertes zu kommen, ist dieses ber Bluetooth mit einem geeigenten Smartphoen / Tablet und der kostenlosen ColorReader-App (iOS Vers. 3.9) zu verbinden. Tatschlich finde auch ich es schade, dass man die Messergebnisse nicht versenden kann, wie bereits ein anderer Kunde bei der App-Bewertzung vor einem (!) Jahr geschreiben hatte. Das wre nicht nur fr gewerbliche Anwender und deren Kunden, sondern auch fr Partner etc. eine sinnvolle Sache. Trotzdem eine interesantes Gert mit diversen Gelegenheiten zur Anwendung, ggf. auch fr Knstler (?) Fr die Idee und Umsetzung gibt es (knappe) fnf Sterne.
ColorReader EZ – Farbe digital bestimmen für Smartpfone
Der kleine und handliche Color-Raeder von Datacolor fr ein vorhandenes Handy macht seine Sache ganz ordentlich. Es ist wie bei allen Handyerweiterungen durch Apps ein
Nachladen der Software ber Playstore erforderlich, ebenso eine Registrierung der Anwendung mit einer vorhandenen E-Mail. Die Installation geht reibungslos vonstatten.
Die Anmeldung folgt sofort nach ffnen der Software, es wird wie blich ein Vorname, Nachnahme und eine gltige E-Mail verlangt. Der Reader muss anschlieend mi Druck auf den Knopf mit dem Handy ber einen bestehenden Bluetooth — Verbindung gekoppelt werden. Die Klappe vor der Reader -Linse sollte danach zur Kalbration des Readers geschlossen werden, wenn das vollbracht ist kann es losgehen.
In der unteren Programm Leiste im Handy auf Messen drcken, wenn sich der Reader an der gewnschten Position zum Bestimmen der Farbe findet. In krzester Zeit ermittelt der Reader die Farben und zeigt und speichert die gelesenen Daten der Farbe an. Auch di Zusammensetzung der Mischfarben je nach eingestellter Farbliste (RAL fr Deutschland). Dieser Color — Reader ist fr Hoppy-Maler und Hoppy-Lackierer eine Hilfe, um Farben zu ermitteln und nachzumischen.
