About Spectro 1
A compact, affordable tool for accurately measuring and communicating color at the professional and industrial level. Using patented and patent-pending technology, Spectro 1 delivers accuracy and repeatability comparable to expensive benchtop spectrophotometers for a fraction of the price.
App compatible and bluetooth enabled, this product is backed by one of the most powerful cloud management systems in the industry--Variable Cloud.
We combined Spectro 1’s compact, portable design with patent pending technology to design a convenient, efficient, and exact color matching system that is smartphone compatible for untethered color measurement.
Unlike standard issue colorimeters on the market, our device uses multiple light sources and sophisticated matching algorithms to produce exact color matches, reflectance curve data, and detailed color data for every scan.
