What's The Difference Between a Colorimeter and Spectrocolorimeter?

Both colorimeters and spectrocolorimeters are instruments designed to measure color, but they operate in slightly different ways and have different applications.  Colorimeters possess several characteristics that distinguish them from spectrocolorimeters. First, they typically sell a lower price point, making them a more cost-effective option. Additionally, their compact size make them convenient for a variety of applications in the field, and they are also relatively easy to use. Colorimeters excel in determining colorimetric values under standard illuminants, primarily focusing on reflectance measurements. However, it's worth noting that colorimeters aren't suited for intricate color analyses such as metamerism and color strength assessments. Despite this limitation, they offer advantages like reduced measurement time, user-friendliness...
