Patent ID: 8334978

Claim:
A method for gauging a color measurement chart which includes at least one row of adjacently arranged color measurement fields, using a hand-held color measurement device which is moved over the color measurement fields in the row and gauges the color measurement fields in a multitude of individual measurements, wherein: the hand-held color measurement device is guided over the color measurement fields in the row in two measurement runs; in a first measurement run, first color measurement data of the color measurement fields is measured using a first type of illumination light, and the fields are identified on the basis of the first color measurement data, wherein the first type of illumination light covers a sufficient portion of the spectrum to enable the fields to be identified by means of the first color measurement data; and in a subsequent second measurement run, second color measurement data of the color measurement fields is measured using a second type of illumination light which does not cover a sufficient portion of the spectrum for identifying the fields, and the second color measurement data is assigned to the color measurement fields on the basis of the fields identified in the first measurement run.
