Food color is an important factor influencing consumers; their verdict is universal: preferring colours to be consistent, accurate, and reliable. If your customers don’t like the color of your products, it is likely to be financially damaging your business.
Consequently, why gamble on color when instead you can choose the precise, consistent and repeatable approach of DigiEye?
DigiEye offers you results and data which are accurate, objective and quantifiable. This is supported with product imagery which can easy be communicated, throughout your global supply-chain.
