While doing soil characterization on the new site, I needed a color chart. Please make this available online, along with all the protocols that are now online. If you put it online, you don't need ink. We can put the soil sample right on top of the iPad, assuming you have an app on color charts, and then click on the hues, values, and chrome until we get the right one. Please make this possible. It will improve the quality of our data.

Thanks again.

Unfortunately an online color chart would not be accurate because there isn't calibration between monitors and screens; screens come in matte and reflective; brightness, tint and other setting can be set by the user. The color charts may look like paint chips but they are highly calibrated and made of materials that do not discolor over time. A hand-held color chart is required.
