ColorAptitude™

For organisations

Inconsistent colour assessment starts with the observer.

Qualify your colour assessors — objectively and remotely.

Your system can be perfect — your assessment might not be

You work with standards, instruments and fixed tolerances. Yet disagreements arise: production approves, QC rejects. The difference is rarely in the material. It's in the observer.

Colour errors cost money. Unqualified assessors cost more.

What this costs your organisation:

Unnecessary rejection or — worse — approval of out-of-tolerance batches
Arguments between departments without an objective measurement basis
Unreliable visual assessment during client contact or supplier inspection
Knowledge risk: when your best assessor leaves, the standard leaves too
Non-compliance with ISO or ASTM audits that require observer qualification

Make colour assessment measurable and repeatable

ColorAptitude™ qualifies your assessors on three levels — discrimination, attribution and communication — across three colour dimensions.

1

Measure

Individual multi-session assessment per employee across all nine cells of the 3×3 competency matrix. Standardised, repeatable, ASTM E1499-16 compliant.

2

Insight

Team report with inter-observer variation, weak dimensions and risk areas.

3

Improve

Training exercises included in the subscription. Two assessments per seat over the 24-month cycle — measure, practise, remeasure.

4

Certification

Colour assessors receive a ColorAptitude Certificate — Tier 1 (indicative) or Tier 2 (ASTM E1499-16 §5.3 compliant).

Two levels of certification

ColorAptitude offers two qualification levels, depending on your compliance requirements.

Tier 1 — Software calibration

ColorAptitude Certificate — Indicative

7-step visual screen calibration. Suitable for screening, education and internal qualification.

Tier 2 — Hardware calibration

ColorAptitude Certificate — ASTM E1499-16 compliant

Datacolor SpyderPro. Objectively verified D65 white point, γ 2.2. Suitable as audit evidence for ISO 9001 and ASTM audits.

The Datacolor SpyderPro is included once with the organisation package. One instrument — years of use by the entire team.

Business account

What is a business account?

A business account gives your organisation one central management environment. Participants receive an invitation code, create their own account and complete the assessment independently — on their own device, whenever they want.

Results are automatically aggregated in the organisation dashboard — with band distribution, average scores per dimension and inter-observer variability visible at team level.
