In this paper, the authors propose a device for measuring the color characteristics of light reflected or transmitted through an optical medium. The main element of this device is the measuring transducer, which assigns to each radiation three signals proportional to the color coordinates. Existing devices have many drawbacks, among which low speed, due to the use of inert elements, which makes it impossible to measure rapidly changing light fluxes. In this device, the authors tried to minimize these limitations by using photodiodes and a microcontroller with a built-in ADC and other devices. Also in this article, a mathematical model of the device is proposed. Attention is paid to psychophysiological perception of color. As a result, we found a device that has a number of advantages over its counterparts, which makes it possible to perform color measurement with higher accuracy.
