Hi Rahmah
Are you intending to measure existing colours, or the contrast of colours
yet to be applied? If is it the latter then the information available from
Dulux would be useful. They produce a CD-Rom and colour swatch that is given
away freely to professional colour specifiers. www.duluxtrade.co.uk as an
access adviser you would be able to get one. The information is based on the
Project Rainbow research undertaken at the University of Reading. The CD is
based on the newer colour swatch than the research.
If you want to measure the colour contrast of an existing colour then
without scientific apparatus a possible way would be to hold the colour
swatch against the existing colour and choose the closest match and then use
the CD to find the colour contrast too it. this is only approximate but may
give you an idea of how much contrast would be needed.
hope this helps
