Visual Colour Comparators
Visual Colour Comparators provide a proven, standardised method for colour grading by comparing a liquid sample against calibrated colour standards under controlled lighting conditions. This traditional yet reliable approach remains widely specified in international standards, regulations and industry methods, particularly where visual assessment is mandated or historically established.
Lovibond Visual Colour Comparators are designed to deliver consistent, repeatable and traceable visual colour results, minimising operator variability through controlled illumination, fixed optical geometry and certified reference standards. They are used globally across petroleum, chemicals, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and industrial laboratories for routine quality control, compliance testing and product grading.
