Coatings
The communication and quality control of colour of coatings is a fundamental in the aesthetic design of so many products. Whether paint, powder coatings or varnishes, factors such as the type of substrate, viewer, light source and batch variation can made colour control a challenge. At Lovibond® we provide you with the tools to manage the subjective visual elements out of your design and quality processes.
More than just matching
The process of managing product appearance from concept, design, prototype and build is reliant upon reliable communication of component specification. Our solutions enable you to manage colour like any other specification. With clear specifications and tolerances. If you'd like to see how, just ask us for a demonstration.
Accurate, Rapid, Repeatable, Reliable
Using a Lovibond® colour measurement system means that you can communicate and control colour quality consistently throughout your supply chain.

A Distinguished History in Food and Drink
Lovibond® has its origins in the brewing industry and we have been measuring colour since 1880. Joseph Lovibond was the first person in the world to develop a practical colorimeter to ensure the high quality of his beer. He was the originator of the Lovibond® scale. We still use the scale as our company logo today. Still a family owned business but now global, at Lovibond® we value our heritage.
