Textiles
Whether you are checking dye baths for consistent strength or correcting for metametric effects of different weaves in your supply chain, Lovibond® colour systems can help you communicate and control colour throughout the design and manufacturing process through to retail. We can help with visual colour assessment or instrumental colour measurement. Controlling for illuminants, observer and reporting in any one of a number of colour communication “spaces”, Lovibond® help take the guesswork out of colour management.
More than just matching
The process of managing product appearance from concept, design, sample through to contracting and retail is reliant upon consistent communication of specifications. Our equipment enables you to manage colour like any other aspect of your product. With clear specifications and tolerances. If you’d like to see how, just ask us for a demonstration.
Accurate, Rapid, Repeatable, Reliable
Using a Lovibond® colour measurement system means that you can communicate and control colour quality consistently throughout your supply chain.

Confused by Colour Measurement?
Visual or automatic? Standard Illuminant D65 or D50? Two degree or ten degree standard observer?, CIE L*a*b* or CIE L*c*h*? Metamerism? Often what we want to know is simple simply “how can I ensure my colour matches consistently?” So we have put together some free short courses to help you to navigate the path to simple colour management and control.

A Distinguished History in Food and Drink
Lovibond® has its origins in the brewing industry and we have been measuring colour since 1880. Joseph Lovibond was the first person in the world to develop a practical colorimeter to ensure the high quality of his beer. He was the originator of the Lovibond® scale. We still use the scale as our company logo today. Still a family owned business but now global, at Lovibond® we value our heritage.
