86175 45°/0° Colorimeter with 20mm Aperture
Large 20mm measuring aperture
Ideal for textured or rough materials like textiles
3.5-inch IPS color touchscreen for intuitive operation
Multiple built-in electronic color charts for accurate color matching
Displays CIE Lab color deviation
86175 is a handheld colorimeter that uses a 45°/0° illumination geometry and features a generous 20mm measuring aperture. It’s equipped with a 3.5-inch IPS capacitive touchscreen and supports connectivity with both mobile devices and PCs. The device operates independently without requiring an app or software, but can also be paired with either for extended features such as color sharing and report printing.
It includes several electronic color charts to help users quickly identify the closest color match. The color comparison function supports various ways of setting standards and allows users to define color deviation thresholds for efficient quality control checks. Its wide aperture makes it suitable for gathering more uniform data, particularly useful for materials such as textiles, leather, fabrics, and wooden surfaces.

Features
Touchscreen Operation for Ease of Use
The device features a 3.5-inch IPS capacitive touchscreen, eliminating the need for physical buttons. It offers an intuitive interface and smooth operation for a better user experience.
Large Aperture, High Precision
Thanks to its 20mm aperture, the 86175 captures more surface area, resulting in more consistent and accurate color readings—especially on rough or uneven materials.
Compact, Durable, and Accurate
Its portable size, ergonomic design, and robust construction contribute to its long-term stability and reliable performance in various environments.
Multiple Electronic Color Charts Included
The 86175 comes preloaded with industry-standard color charts such as RAL, Pantone, and NCS. It can quickly match the scanned color to the three closest chart colors with over 90% accuracy—saving users from carrying heavy physical charts.
Dual Functionality: Scan & Compare
The device supports two core features: Color Scan and Color Compare. The scan function delivers results in under a second. In comparison mode, it provides color deviation data across three Lab channels, offering valuable feedback for color adjustment during quality checks.
Support for Various Color Spaces and Difference Formulas
Users can choose from seven color spaces and seven color difference formulas, making the 86175 suitable for a wide range of industry applications.
Advanced Sensor Technology
Powered by the latest AS7261 chip-level color sensor from ams AG, the 86175 simulates human visual response with precise XYZ tristimulus sensing based on CIE1931 and CIE1976 standards.
Compatible with Mobile App and PC Software
The colorimeter supports mobile apps and PC software for Android, iOS, and Windows. The interface supports both English and Chinese, making it versatile across global applications.
Precision Alignment with Measurement Locating Plate
