BPI has introduced a new addition to its line of color analysis meters. The BPI RGB Spectrometer / Color Analyzer (PC 19504) joins the ranks of the BPI Spectrometer (PC 19501) and the BPI Dual Cuvette Spectrometer (PC 19502) as a cost effective means for checking and matching tinted lenses and filters. The BPI RGB Spectrometer looks at the three principal colors, red, green and blue, which the eye uses for making its color determinations. The meter then converts this information into color coordinate information, such as (L*, a* ,b*) or (x,y,Y) or (X,Y,Z) or even BPI's (R,G,B). This information is then used by the Companion PC Program to compare the sample color with that of another lens or filter (the standard) and predict what corrector tints and times would be needed to bring the sample close to the color standard.

BPI has added color space information to our website for those who would like to become better informed on the subject of color perception and analysis.
