An instrument used to measure color intensity, hue, or other properties of colors and light.
From Greek 'chroma' (color) + 'metron' (measure). A technical instrument name from the 19th-20th centuries as color measurement became scientifically standardized.
Chromatometers are the reason your phone's screen automatically adjusts color temperature based on sunlight—they measure and quantify color in ways the human eye can't, making it mathematical and programmable.
