We all know that if an object is absolutely black, its reflectivity is 0, if it is absolutely white, then its reflectivity is 100%. Virtually all objects are between these two extremes. If a shade of gray reflects 18% of light, it is 18% gray. If you mix the light, dark, and midtones of all the objects in nature, the result is 18% gray.
Therefore, the photometric system in the camera is designed to reproduce the brightness of this 18% gray. No matter if you aim the metering system at any hue object for metering, it always "thinks" that the subject is a mid-gray tone and provides exposure data that reproduces the mid-gray tone.
The 18% gray board is professionally chromaticity corrected. It is a necessity for those who have strict exposure requirements. It is more effective when used with a light meter. It is an ideal accessory for portraits, flowers, remakes and other photography.
Photos with rich layers and saturated colors come from precise exposure. If the light in the shooting scene is too bright or too dark, it may cause deviations in the exposure. The gray card can balance complex light scenes to 18% neutral gray, and the reflected light of the gray card can be recorded by the light meter to obtain the accurate exposure value!
