About This Product
Colour in textiles and other materials is judged by eye under controlled light, because the same sample can look different in different lighting. A colour matching cabinet is a viewing box with several light sources, so that a sample and its standard can be compared side by side. Two samples that match under one light but differ under another show metamerism, which is why more than one light source is used. In a school or college textile lab, students use the cabinet to see this effect and to check colour consistency. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Colour Matching Cabinet across India and can export it to Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone, United States, Peru and Japan.
