A digital, abridged spectrophotometer with a detecting head defining a roughly spherical, reflective inner surface broken by a viewing port and a light source port with a number of filtered photodiodes mounted in the head for each receiving light from a sample or standard in the viewing port. A standard sheet of vitrolite is mounted on the housing for movement with a plunger, which trips a switch, to cover the viewing port, while a standard black sheet can be pivoted to cover the viewing port for the calibration which precedes each reading. A digital computer calculates the tristimulus values from the signals produced by the photodiodes and provides signals for a display of the color values.
