Nix Mini Color Sensor

I purchased the mini for an industrial application even though the purpose is more for household use. In order to use the mini, I had to validate the accuracy and precision to ensure it could be used as a quality pre-check. I looked at the accuracy using known paint cards from Lowes, Valspar and Sherwin Williams. It is impressively dead-on and with the Nix Paints app (it also uses Nix Digital app) you can know with confidence the name of the paint, the paint product code, RGB color code and several other codes as well. I then checked to see if the readings would change throughout time and in different environments. Again it was very consistent in its readings. It never differed more than one point on the RGB scale. The only uncertainty I have, only because I didn't run a test, is how it would perform on glossy finishes. Readings are stored within the app so you don't have to worry about writing down the results or forgetting the name of the paint. The app is very easy to use and self-explanatory. I will be purchasing the PRO next because it has a bit more features and color scales that I need. All in all I would recommend the mini for any household use.
