Exposure 18% Gray Balance for Photo and Video from Capture to Edit

The ColorChecker Gray Balance is the largest size available gray balance card in the range, it’s the same size as the ColorChecker Classic Target at 215.9 x 279.4mm.

Using the ColorChecker Gray Balance card for reflective spot exposure metering will give you the confidence that your images will be exposed as accurately as possible. The ColorChecker Gray Balance card is the larger size version of the 18% gray reference square in the standard 24-patch ColorChecker. The gray is scientifically engineered to provide a precise uniform surface that is spectrally neutral, meaning it reflects equal amounts of red, blue, and green in all types of light conditions.

The ColorChecker Gray Balance target can be used for a variety of applications:

Digital Photography: Exposure metering and gray balance. Adjusts your digital camera’s color sensitivity to exactly match the ambient lighting conditions

Traditional Photography: Check films, lights, filters, and paper.

Cinematography (Television and Video): Verify gray balance through the configuration of cameras, lights and film.

The perceived color of white changes based on ambient conditions—outdoor it is perceived to be cooler, indoor, warmer, and under fluorescent light, greener. ColorChecker Gray Balance gives you the power to adjust your digital camera’s color sensitivity to exactly match the ambient lighting conditions; in effect, changing what that the camera “sees.” Even in a controlled studio environment, establishing an accurate custom gray balance ensures an accurate image from the start of each new photo session.

Ava ★★★★★

The 18% gray is spot-on for setting custom white balance in camera, and the card is sturdy enough to toss in my bag without worrying about creases. I've already used it on two shoots and my color grading feels way more consistent.

Ellie ★★★★★

This thing is huge compared to my old gray card, which makes it way easier to set a custom white balance without having to zoom in. I’ve been using it for video and it’s already saved me time in post.

Claire ★★★★★

The 18% gray tone gives me a consistent neutral reference across all my photos, and it’s noticeably more accurate than the tiny cards I used before. This bigger size means I can set a custom white balance even in tight shots without fumbling.
