Ametra Match Mobile Colorimeter
Product Overview
Compact Mobile Colorimeter with Smartphone Connectivity: A portable color matching solution that puts professional color measurement right in your pocket. Color matching is a subtle art—and a critical business process. It transforms your customer's vision into a tangible product. Yet for years, color professionals had to rely on imperfect human eyes and bulky, unwieldy, often outdated color books that compromise accuracy and efficiency.
Every mismatch costs time, materials, and customer trust. The tightrope between color accuracy and achievability has been a constant challenge—until now. Ametra Match is a feather-light, eagle-eyed color sensor that fits in your pocket and connects seamlessly to your smartphone via our free Mobile App. Measure any sample with professional-grade accuracy, find precise matches in major North American color systems, create custom color palettes, and reduce color matching time from hours to seconds.
