Cyberchrome OnColor is a versatile suite of color quality control (QC) and computer color matching (formulation) software developed by Cyberchrome, Inc., a company specializing in color management solutions since 1986. It supports industries such as paints & coatings, plastics, textiles, automotive, and printing by enabling precise data collection, analysis, reporting, and storage from spectrophotometers. The software integrates with over 100 popular color measurement instruments (e.g., from X-Rite, Datacolor, Konica Minolta) and offers modules for QC, matching, profiling, and multi-angle evaluation.
Key Features
- Color QC & Analysis: Pass/fail evaluations using tolerances (e.g., CIELAB ΔE, CMC); 3D color plots, trend charts, and graphical reports; support for multiple illuminants (e.g., D65, A) and observers.
- Formulation & Matching: Automated recipe generation with corrections; database management for standards, libraries, and jobs; XML/CSV import/export for global sharing.
- Instrument Integration: Drivers for multi-angle spectrophotometers (e.g., X-Rite MA98i); displays up to 6 angles simultaneously, flop index, sparkle/graininess for metallics/pearls.
- Profiler Module: Correlates data from diverse instruments to a reference, ensuring accuracy across supply chains; electronic standards for traceability.
- Multi-Angle QC: 3D tolerance ellipses; multiple standards per file; unified GUI for mixed-brand instruments.
- New in v6 Series (Including 6.3 Fixes): Enhanced GUI for intuitive data handling; improved reporting (e.g., batch summaries); better handling of large datasets; backward compatibility with older Cyberchrome tools (e.g., SpectraQC).
- Deployment: Modular (e.g., QC Premium, Multi-Angle); standalone or networked; perpetual licensing with optional upgrades.
