  2. Hello, Many thanks for this , square 2G has a typo by the way, it should be RGB 58/88/159 , as per the pdf thingy. :)

  3. Note: their website says that, on the 48 chart, the right side has the “20% ramp” (100/80/60/40/20/0), and that you can zigzag with the “10% ramp” on the left panel to have a full ramp with 10% steps.

    Then, it says the 24 chart is just like the right side of the 48 chart (that is, the 20% ramp), but that the back has the “same 10% ramp”. That’s it. By their words, you may be led to believe that this is the complementary zigzag ramp, just printed on the back because the 24 model doesn’t have the space in the front. But that’s wrong. What is on the back is the very same 20% ramp (100/80/60/40/20/0) that you will find on the front, together with the larger 50% grey patch.

    I just measured the colors with different cameras, always taking pictures of the grey and colored sides of the 24 model. And indeed I found them to be equal. To be specific, I noticed a color difference of less than 1% (except in the darker patch, with around 3%), which is expected considering variations in camera noise and JPEG compression between the shots. Also, if it that were the 10% chart, we would expect the 60% square to be equal to the 50% larger patch. Not only that is clearly not the case, but I found a difference of around 10-12% in color values, which I guess is exactly what we would expect between 50% and 60% which confirms what we can see with our eyes.

    And I think that’s even better considering we can get the 40% value with a larger 50% patch on the same side. They are probably the most used.

    I’m saying this because I was very confused after reading their manual and I wondered if my eyes were tricking me.

  4. Thanks for doing this.

    Another couple of typos:

    Number 17 should be Patch 5C
    Number 18 should be Patch 6C
    Number 47 should be Patch 5H

    It looks a lot like optical character recognition mistakes.
