THE COLORCHECKER CLASSIC TARGET:ColorChecker Passport includes the standard 24-patch ColorChecker Classic. This target has been used by photographers, videographers and for thescientific evaluation of colour rendition since 1976.
In fact, it has become an industry standard. Each of the 24 colour patches represents the colours of natural objects, such as sky blue, flesh tones and leaf
green, and each patch reflects light just like its real-world counterpart.
Each square is individually coloured using a solid tone to produce pure, flat, rich colour without dots or mixed tints.

THE WHITE BALANCE TARGET:The white balance target is a spectrally neutral 12% grey balancetarget that provides in-camera custom white balance for both JPEG
and RAW photography.
This means it provides a neutral point of reference across thedifferent lighting conditions you may encounter on a shoot.
The white balance target reflects the light evenly across the visible
spectrum, so performing a custom white balance on the camera
can accurately compensate for lighting. This results in a moreaccurate representation of the subject in the clip.

THE GRAY BALANCE TARGET:
The gray balance target, much like the white balance, is spectrally
neutral but offers a darker 18% grey reference. It also provides aneutral point of reference across the different lighting conditions
you may encounter on a shoot. It can also be used for setting anaverage exposure for your camera, especially useful in difficult
lighting situations.
Certain light meters can also use the target for exposure and setting
the neutral balance.
