When was the ColorChecker chart introduced?

In the summer of 1976, three scientists at Macbeth, then part of Kollmorgen, published a paper called 'A Color-Rendition Chart,' led by Dr. Calvin McCamy.

What sizes does the ColorChecker Classic come in?

Five sizes: the Nano at about 24 by 40mm for macro work, the Mini, the Classic (studio standard), the XL for landscapes and large sets, and the Mega at roughly 1 by 1.5 meters for use from a distance or by drone.

What is the ColorChecker Digital SG?

It expands the original chart to 140 patches on one semi-gloss card, including the original 24 colors, a 17-step grayscale, and 14 dedicated skin-tone patches, with the same letter-size footprint as the Classic.
