Calibrite ColorChecker 3-Step Grayscale

3-Step Exposure and White Balance Control for Photo and Video from Capture to Edit

Simplify camera and studio lighting balance with this three step gray-scale target for performing quick colour adjustments and evaluating studio lighting conditions. The ColorChecker 3-Step Grayscale includes the white, 18% gray, and black reference patches found in the 24-patch ColorChecker Classic, all on a single full-sized card. Use it to capture accurate colour before your photo session or video shoot, and save yourself editing time and effort afterwards.

On site, use it as the first reference shot in a photo series or video footage to instantly correct colour by balancing on the mid-tone gray value. In the studio, use it to evaluate exposure and balance between main and fill lights to quickly set up the proper lighting ratio, and to set white balance. The ColorChecker 3-Step Grayscale target also provides reference values for adjusting colours within most common photo or video editing software packages, allowing you to make quick colour adjustments.

The ColorChecker Grayscale is scientifically engineered to provide a precise, uniform surface that is spectrally neutral (reflects equal amounts of red, blue and green) in all types of lighting conditions.

Use it for a variety of applications:

  • Digital Photography: Check images, set white balance and verify exposure and balance between main and fill lights
  • Film Photography: Check films, lights, filters and paper
  • Filmmaking: Set exposure; check colour bias for cameras and lights

Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Evelyn O. ★★★★★

Finally, a gray card that doesn't feel flimsy—the matte surface is sturdy enough to toss in my bag without a case. The three steps make white balance and exposure checks painfully quick, even in tricky mixed lighting.

Violet M. ★★★★★

Shot a full portrait session with this taped to a light stand and the exposure was spot-on in every frame — no more fiddling with the camera's gray card menu. The matte surface doesn't glare even with a strobe right next to it, which is exactly what I needed.

Ava H. ★★★★☆

Finally got this to help with white balance in video, and it's a huge time-saver having the three tones on one card. The gray step pattern is clear enough to see even through a viewfinder.
