Chromatic Survey by Visual Comparison<\/h3>\n

In our case, we worked with the Natural Color System (NCS) and Munsell charts. Surveying through visual comparison is done by placing the color chart beside the observed object and looking at it until the same or at least the closest looking color is found. In the case of the chromatic atmospheres, the chart is placed facing the landscape and \u2013isolating the surroundings using a frame\u2013 the same procedure described below is followed.

Chromatic Surveying with NCS Colorimeter<\/h3>\n

The colorimeter is a tool for electronic measurement of a colored surface. How does it work? The device is located on the surface to be measured and a phone app is activated, showing the NSC code with its equivalences in other classification systems. This result must be corroborated visually with the actual chart because although the measurement is fast, it is fallible.<\/p>\n
