ColourSpace review
Deep profiling, LUT, HDR and virtual-production tools for advanced calibration work.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ColourSpace is display calibration and colour-management software from Light Illusion Ltd. It is aimed at advanced colorists, post-production and broadcast teams, display manufacturers, AV installers, home-cinema specialists, and virtual-production crews. Its feature set covers manual display measurement, volumetric profiling, 3D LUT generation and manipulation, post-calibration verification, HDR workflows for PQ/ST2084 and HLG, and camera or image-sequence probe workflows for virtual sets and LED walls.
The published plans use one-time pricing. ColourSpace DPS costs £125 and includes advanced manual calibration, cube-based display characterisation, volumetric 3D graphs, and 3D LUT generation. LTE costs £625 and adds entry-level professional calibration, mainstream probe support, external test-pattern generators, and Resolve and Mistika integration. CAL costs £1,435 with professional calibration, supported test-pattern-generator and display integrations, plus LUT import and export. PRO costs £2,075 and adds video-wall support, multi-threading, large native LUT sizes, and camera data. Home-cinema options range from HTL at £425 to HTP at £1,275 and HTX at £1,475, with higher tiers adding hardware generator, integrated-TV, video-processor, multi-threading, LUT-size, SpaceMan, and SpaceMatch capabilities.
ColourSpace fits workflows that depend on detailed profiling and broad hardware connectivity. Integrations include ASUS ProArt, Flanders Scientific, EIZO, BenQ, TVLogic, LG displays and TVs, Brompton, Megapixel, and other listed display and processor brands. It is native Windows x64 software; macOS operation uses Windows emulation. The application also supports custom patch sets, preset patch-list CSV import, multi-monitor calibration, and direct links to probes, LUT hardware, displays, and test-pattern generators. Choose ColourSpace when calibration depth, LUT control, HDR, or virtual-production support matters more than a simple workflow. Choose an alternative if you need native macOS operation, a perpetual free plan, or built-in ICC, VCGT, and LUT-extraction tools.
