A color measurement instrument for measuring colors of areas of interest of a target object, according to one aspect of the present invention, includes a spectral engine, a color camera, a display, and a processor. The spectral engine has a first field of view. The camera has a second field of view, the second field of view being larger than the first field of view and encompassing the first field of view. The processor is coupled to the spectral engine, camera and display. The processor to causes the spectral engine to make a color measurement of an area of interest on the target object within the first field of view and obtains from the camera a measurement image comprising at least a portion of the second field of view including the first field of view. The processor further causes the display of color values from a measurement made by the spectral engine along with at least a portion of the measurement image including the first field of view.
A color measurement instrument for measuring colors of areas of interest of a target object, comprising:
The color measurement instrument of any of the preceding claims, wherein the instructions stored in non-volatile memory further comprise instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to display a live view of the second field of view on the display with a representation of the location of the first field of view superimposed on the live view of the second field of view.
