Professional Color Reference for Filmmakers
Designed specifically for video production, the Calibrite ColorChecker Video offers a comprehensive and reliable toolset for accurate color control on set and in post. Measuring 8.5 x 11 inches—the same size as the ColorChecker Classic—this chart integrates seamlessly into your workflow without disruption.
The front side features a carefully curated layout of chromatic color chips, skin tone references, grayscale steps, and illumination check patches, all developed to meet the needs of today’s video creators. These include:
- Chromatic Colors: Six saturated and six de-saturated color chips aligned with standard video color spaces.
- Skin Tones: Six patches that represent a wide range of light-to-dark tones with varied undertones.
- Grayscale Levels: Four larger reference steps including white, 40 IRE gray, deep gray, and glossy black.
- Linear Grayscale: Six steps providing accurate highlight and shadow representation.
- Illumination Check Chips: Placed in two corners to help ensure consistent, even lighting.
On the reverse, you’ll find a large 8 x 11″ neutral white balance card—perfect for quickly setting accurate in-camera white balance based on your scene’s lighting conditions.
Built to integrate with popular third-party software applications, the ColorChecker Video helps speed up color grading, exposure setting, and camera matching across multicam setups. It’s ideal for live productions, mixed lighting environments, and streamlined post workflows.
Key Uses:
- Color grading and color balancing
- Camera matching
- Gray balance and exposure setting
- Shooting in mixed lighting environments
Care Tip: Protect your ColorChecker by storing it in its protective cover when not in use. Avoid direct exposure to bright light, high humidity, and contaminants. For optimal performance, Calibrite recommends replacing the chart every 2 to 4 years, depending on usage and light exposure.
