BBC Test Card 61


“Test Cards 61 and 61P have been designed to present as natural a portrayal as possible of a human subject on a color television display, so that a sensitive flesh tone color balance may be carried out between the cameras in a studio. The spectral reflectance characteristics of human skin have been reproduced in the test cards as accurately as possible.”

E.W. Taylor and S.J. Lent, “BBC Test Card No. 61 (Flesh Tone Reference): Colorimetric and Other Optical Considerations,” SMPTE Journal vol 87, February 1978, 78.
