This article is highly theoretical and technical and needs some practical illustrations like an example of an RGB reading on two make-up foundations of different shades and an explanation of how they differ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.199.125.229 (talk) 20:26, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A layman would be hard pressed to understand what a Tristimulus Colorimeter does or how it does it. Further no easy explanation is given as to why a handheld colorimeter is not as good as a full blown spectrophotometer weighing over 50kg. (The article waffles on about Metamerism but that is not helpful to anyone who doesn't already know the answer.)

The article needs some diagrams and a bit of background science.OrewaTel (talk) 05:27, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
