BabelColor is an application that provides you color measurement and analysis.
BabelColor CT&A lets you compare, translate, convert, and analyze color samples from any RGB space, from the British Standard 5252, FED-STD-595B, Munsell, and RAL CLASSIC color catalogues (Color Decks), and from user-defined color catalogues. Input data directly with any Eye-OneTM instrument. Get a full featured densitometer and many other spectral tools when you connect to an Eye-One Pro.
Add your own color list as a Color Deck using the "BabelColor CT&A Export" dialog of the PatchTool program, which converts color lists saved in CGATS, CXF or plain text format to the Color Decks database format.
Here are some key features of "BabelColor CT&A":
· Define an RGB space with custom chromaticities, a custom illuminant, and a custom gamma.
· Get the chromaticity coordinates (xyz) of any D-series or blackbody illuminant by simply entering the source temperature, in kelvin (Ex.: 9300 K for D93).
· Get the coefficients of the Bradford chromatic adaptation matrix between a custom illuminant and many standard illuminants. You can also get the inverse matrix coefficients.
· Export the XYZ-to-RGB and RGB-to-XYZ matrices coefficients of the custom space to a spreadsheet.
· Includes many tutorials to learn how to use the program features and, at the same time, better understand color technology.
· Includes a complete help manual with basic color theory and detailed equations. "HTML Help" is used in Windows while a PDF file (250+ pages) is provided for the Mac. All help documents contain thousands of hyperlinks, for easy navigation, and a complete index. You can keep and use the Help even if you do not buy the program!
· The colors are shown in color patches translated to the native viewing characteristics of the computer platforms: Apple RGB (in Mac OS X and OS 8-9), and sRGB (in Windows and Mac OS X).

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Fixed a problem in XYZ to L*a*b* conversion for very dark colors (L*=8 or smaller). The problem was present in the main CT&A screen only; the problem did not affect the Spectral Tools.
