Pantone Viewing Light Booth

Three things are required to realize color: light, eyes and an object. Without light, there is no color. Without controlled light, color can, and will, appear different. A metameric effect is where two different colors will appear the same under certain lighting conditions. Having a controlled environment helps identify these troublesome effects. That’s why you should consider a PANTONE Color Viewing Light.

Take the guesswork out of color matching with the help of three different lighting environments. See how colors will look under daylight, fluorescent and incandescent settings.
