## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this spectrum type or just use sensor type?**
A: It is a sensor type. But you will only get pantone colors. You should see the Nix Pro (https://nixsensor.com/?ref=3). It is also sensor type, but it will snap to most color systems.

**Q: Does this device comes preloaded with the skin tone fan ?**
A: Mine came with the Pantone libraries preloaded, but the actual fans have to be purchased separately

**Q: Will this provide RGB, etc of the original color measurement, or only of the nearest Pantone match?**
A: It always provides the Pantone match. With the Nix Pro (https://nixsensor.com/?ref=3), you get the RGB, etc of the original color measurement.

**Q: Is this what they use in sephora color iq to find your foundation shade?**
A: It can have the skin palette loaded so it should be able to do what you are asking

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by T***A on 21 December 2014*

I have been painstakingly trying to match my Kona Cotton solids fabrics with the Pantone The Plus Series Color Bridge Coated & Uncoated - by hand. The grey skies and gloomy, rainy days make that job even more challenging. I have searched all over to try and find RGB or CMYK or Pantone matches for the Kona Cotton solids, but haven't found any information. I decided to get the Pantone CAPSURE Color Matcher tool to use with the Color Bridge, and I love it! I tried this the first time a few days ago - I brought my Kona Cotton solids to a room with both natural and ambient light during the daytime (highest daylight hours), and set the CAPSURE light setting to match the room. The first several matches, I matched up what CAPSURE matched to what I had previously matched. Some were the exact match I had previously, some were not, but close. Some matches are more difficult to the fabric color and available Pantone colors. Because I want to use these matches digitally as well, I need to make sure there is a different Pantone match for each of the fabric colors. If I get a match for the same Pantone color for multiple fabric colors, I then go back to the book and find the best matches for each. My project is more detailed and time consuming than most - and even for me it works great! It is an investment, but one that is totally worth it for me. I will be using this for years to come, on a variety of projects!
