Know before you buy
The ColorChecker Classic Nano is designed to ensure color accuracy and consistency in your photography workflow. By capturing a reference image of the chart, you can create custom camera profiles and achieve precise white balance during post-production.
The Nano version features the same 48-color palette as the standard Classic but in a significantly smaller, more compact form factor. It is specifically designed for situations where space is limited, such as macro photography or tight product shots.
While you can use the grey card manually for in-camera white balance, the 48-color target is intended to be used with color calibration software. This software analyzes the chart in your reference photo to build an ICC profile that corrects color shifts in your camera's sensor.
Yes, its compact design makes it highly portable for field work. Because it includes a dedicated grey card, it is particularly useful for quickly setting white balance under changing natural lighting conditions.
To maintain color integrity, keep the chart away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures when not in use. Avoid touching the color patches with your fingers, as oils from your skin can alter the spectral reflectance of the colors over time.
