Description

The Color Reader CR1 is a portable Bluetooth colorimeter for measuring color and comparing samples. It suits on-site color checks in plastics, electronics, paint, printing, and fashion. If you need a Bluetooth color reading device, its built-in screen supports standalone measurements, while the app displays sample values, color differences, and pass/fail results.

Before choosing it as a color match tool, check whether its measuring aperture and color outputs fit your work. The description does not specify paint mixing formulas or a paint-brand matching library; consult the manual if those are essential.

Choose the Configuration for Your Measurement

  • Measurement area: Check whether the Φ8mm measuring aperture suits the samples you intend to measure.
  • Color outputs: The CR1 supports CIE LAB and LCh color spaces with the ΔE*ab color difference formula. Confirm these match your reporting requirements.
  • Display and standalone use: A 1.14-inch IPS full-color screen and Smart Button support measurements without a phone or computer.
  • App connection: Bluetooth 5.0 connects the instrument to the mobile app. Check the manual for phone and operating-system compatibility before ordering.
  • Battery: The rechargeable lithium battery provides up to 12,000 continuous measurements per charge. Check the manual for charging requirements.
