Grey card
When trying to determine consistent photographic exposure, a neutral gray card that typically has a reflectance of 18% is typically utilized as a point of reference. The reflected light meter is then used to take a reading from the object after it has been positioned appropriately in the scene to be photographed. By doing so, issues relating to overexposure and underexposure can be avoided.
