The display interface after color difference comparison is as follows:

When the standard color is measured or added and the sample color is measured or added, then a

comparison measurement is completed (a comparison record is automatically stored). The color

difference calculation is performed on the two colors. The color difference comparison results generally

have the following three judgments:

 LabCh value

The LabCh value Δ is obtained by the sample color data minus the standard color data and the color

cast direction between the two is judged by ΔL, Δa and Δb.

 The value of ΔE

The value of ΔE is calculated according to the selected color difference formula.

 QC testing

QC testing is suitable for color difference detection in the production process. Users can set whether

this function is needed according to actual needs. If the QC testing function is set (QC testing is

ticked) and the ΔE threshold is set, if the calculated ΔE is greater than the set threshold, "NG" is

displayed, and the judgment area is displayed in red; if the calculated ΔE is less than or equal to the

set threshold, it will display "PASS" and the judgment area will be green.
