Achieve Perfect Color Accuracy with the Calibrite ColorChecker Classic XL

For photographers and filmmakers, achieving consistent, true-to-life color is the cornerstone of professional work. The Calibrite ColorChecker Classic XL is the definitive industry-standard tool designed to eliminate color guesswork and deliver flawless results. For over 40 years, professionals have relied on its 24 scientifically formulated color patches to predict and control how color appears under any lighting condition, ensuring your creative vision is perfectly translated from capture to final edit.

The genius of the ColorChecker lies in its scientific precision. Each of the 24 colored squares represents the actual color of natural objects—such as human skin tones, foliage, and blue sky—and is engineered to reflect light just like its real-world counterpart. This means that under any illumination, from studio strobes to midday sun, the target provides a reliable, objective reference. This allows you to create custom camera profiles and make global color corrections with confidence, knowing you have an unwavering benchmark for accuracy.

Integrating the ColorChecker into your workflow is seamless and powerful. By simply including the target in a reference shot, you create a powerful data point for your editing process. Use it to build custom DNG profiles for Adobe Lightroom® and Photoshop®, or generate ICC camera profiles for Capture One®, DaVinci Resolve, and other compatible software. This crucial step, based on your specific lighting, camera, and lens combination, saves invaluable time in post-production and prevents frustrating, trial-and-error adjustments.

Stop wasting time correcting unpredictable color shifts. The ColorChecker Classic XL empowers you to avoid costly mistakes and ensures your edits are precise and intentional. Whether you are shooting portraits, landscapes, or commercial video, this essential tool provides the objective standard needed to produce breathtaking, color-accurate work every single time.
