Create or edit a tolerance set

A tolerance set defines the criteria used when you compare measurements to the color reference. You can choose if a verification result that exceeds the limit will be indicated by a warning or a failure.

Know the acceptable variation limits for your color workflow including:
  • ΔE formula
  • General ΔE limits
  • Primary color ΔE limits
  • Hue difference ΔH limits
  • Tone value difference tolerance limits
  • Chromaticness difference ΔCh limits
  • NPDC ΔL limits
  • Spot color ΔE limits
Note: Limits define the acceptable tolerance ranges that are calculated for each criterion.
