Abstract
It is proposed that video cameras can be used for the measurement of c olour in certain applications. It is shown that under carefully contro lled conditions, a three-chip CCD camera can achieve a repeatability o f 0.33 CIELAB units, according to the CIE 1976 La*b* equation. The ad vantages of video cameras over colorimeters and spectrophotometers are explained, and applications are suggested in which these advantages o utweigh the relative loss of precision.
