This area of the application screen contains all the information related to the STANDARD and TRIAL colors.

The area is clearly divided in logical sections: the STANDARD area is located on the left and the TRIAL area on the right.

The Delta values are displayed on the right side of the TRIAL area.

In general terms each color is characterized by its date, time, batch/code, notes and color data.
