For photographers and videographers capturing grand scenes, from sweeping landscapes to large-scale events and aerial drone shots, achieving consistent, accurate color can be a monumental challenge. The Calibrite ColorChecker Classic Mega is the definitive solution. With an enormous size of 102 x 152 cm (40 x 60 inches), it is the largest target in the ColorChecker family, specifically designed to be captured from extreme distances while maintaining enough resolution for precise color correction and camera profiling.
For over 40 years, the 24-patch ColorChecker Classic has been the industry's leading color reference target. It’s engineered to deliver true-to-life color reproduction, allowing you to predict and control how colors will appear under any lighting condition. Each of the 24 scientifically formulated colors represents natural objects like human skin tones, foliage, and blue sky. These patches reflect light just like their real-world counterparts, ensuring the color you capture is the color you intended, dramatically reducing your editing time and improving your workflow efficiency.
The ColorChecker Classic Mega empowers you to go beyond simple visual reference. When combined with the free Calibrite Camera Calibration software, you can create custom DNG and ICC camera profiles tailored to your specific camera, lens, and lighting combination. This unlocks unparalleled color accuracy in popular software like Adobe Lightroom®, Photoshop®, Capture One®, and DaVinci Resolve®. Stop guessing and start knowing. Take control of your color from capture to edit and produce stunningly accurate images and footage every time.
