When was the ColorChecker created and by whom?

In the summer of 1976, three scientists at Macbeth, then part of Kollmorgen, published a paper called "A Color-Rendition Chart." Lead author Dr. Calvin McCamy built the chart.

What sizes does the ColorChecker Classic come in?

Five sizes: the Nano (about 24 by 40mm) for macro work, the Mini for pocket use, the Classic as the studio standard, the XL for landscapes and large sets, and the Mega (roughly 1 by 1.5 meters) for use across a field or by drone.

What is the ColorChecker Digital SG?

It expands the original chart for digital cameras and scanners, packing 140 patches onto one semi-gloss card, including the original 24 colors, a 17-step grayscale, and 14 dedicated skin-tone patches, in the same letter-size footprint as the Classic.
