Colour Chart B.I.G. 486004

The Colour Chart B.I.G. 486004 is a compact set of three color reference cards designed for studio and on-location photography. Each card measures 100 mm by 130 mm and provides consistent color reference points to support accurate white balance, color correction, and post-processing adjustments. Its small format is convenient for handheld use, placement in scenes, and storage in camera bags, making it suitable for both controlled studio workflows and dynamic field work.

Advantages

The Colour Chart offers a standardized color reference in a durable, easy-to-handle format that simplifies color management across shooting sessions. The three-piece set allows users to position a chart near subjects or include multiple references for different lighting conditions. Compact dimensions enable placement within tight compositions without obstructing the scene while providing reliable color targets for calibrating cameras and software.

Suitable for

• Photography studios requiring repeatable color consistency
• Product and e-commerce photography for accurate reproduction
• On-location shoots where fast white balance references are needed
• Post-processing workflows that rely on color correction and matching
• Training and testing camera color profiles and imaging equipment

Key specifications

• Quantity: 3 pieces
• Dimensions per card: 100 mm × 130 mm
• Material: rigid or semi-rigid card suitable for studio handling
• Finish: matte surface to reduce reflections and glare
• Color targets: standardized patches for white balance and color correction

How to use

Place one or more colour charts in the scene close to the subject and within the same light as the subject to capture accurate reference information. For still life or product photography, position a card in the frame during a test shot, use that frame to set custom white balance or create color profiles in post-processing, and then remove the chart for final frames if not required in the composition. For on-location work, photograph the chart under each lighting setup or when the light changes to maintain consistent color reproduction across images.

Usage recommendations

Keep the cards clean and free from dust or fingerprints; store them flat to avoid warping. When working under highly reflective or mixed lighting, take multiple reference shots and include a chart near key subjects to ensure accurate color correction during post-processing.
