referenssiväriyhdisteestä
A referenssiväriyhdiste, or reference color compound in English, is a substance used as a standard for color measurement and calibration. These compounds possess well-defined and stable color properties that are precisely known. They serve as benchmarks against which the colors of other materials are compared or measured. The primary purpose of a reference color compound is to ensure consistency and accuracy in color reproduction across different instruments, environments, and times.
The selection of a reference color compound depends on the specific application and the desired color space.
These compounds are often characterized by their spectral data, such as reflectance or transmittance curves across
