The white card has a tested RGB value of (220, 224, 223). All three cards have excellent uniformity across a range of light sources.

Portable and Useful

Review Date: February 8, 2009

Reviewer: Dusty Jacquet, California

A very helpful photography tool for setting white balance & compensation exposures. Glad I got it. The compact size (the cards fit in my Tamrac 515 camera case) and ease of wearing around my neck on the provided lanyard means I carry the cards with me anywhere I take my camera; without inconvenience, bulk or a lot of extra weight. It's a great product design. Glad I bought the set - it's useful to have the white and black as well as the 18% grey cards.

Perfect

This is SO EASY to use! I get some of the best photos when I use these cards before taking photos. Inside or out... I now try to always use these to get the white balance perfect.

Simple, Efective must have

Not much to it. Not a lot of money for a simple device to speed up your photo processing work.

Valuable tool for any photographer

Review Date: November 26, 2009

Reviewer: Nathan Beauchamp, Oak Park, IL USA

This white balance card kit is a must have for most photographers. Even if you shoot it RAW which allows you to edit the white balance 'after the fact' using these cards will allow you to set the white balance correctly while you shoot and cut down on editing time later. Small enough to slip into even a small camera bag and connected to a lanyard so they're easy to carry, if you're anything like me you'll find yourself using them all the time. Especially useful if you're doing a series of photographs in a controlled environment and you want to make absolutely sure you get your skin tones correct.

For the price these are a no-brainer.

MUST HAVE

Review Date: February 25, 2010

Reviewer: B. Lucas,

Every serious photographer needs a white balance card or color checker. Let me say that again. EVERY SERIOUS photographer needs one. It makes in camera fixes a breeze, and does pretty well after the fact in photoshop as well. This is cheap, small, and gets the job done. If you don't have a studio or can't afford a bigger card, this is highly recommended.
