Color Banding Test

Check smooth color and grayscale transitions for visible steps, stripes, posterization, or abrupt tonal changes using fullscreen gradient test patterns.

Grayscale Gradient Look for a smooth transition from black to white. Strong visible stripes or abrupt tonal steps may indicate banding or processing limitations.

PATTERN GRAYSCALE

Color Banding Inspection

Use smooth gradients to look for unwanted visible bands, then compare them with deliberate stepped patterns. Fullscreen mode provides the cleanest viewing area.

Visual Banding Reference A smooth gradient should ideally appear gradual without strong unexpected stripes or abrupt changes. However, browser color management, compression, HDR, graphics processing, display bit depth, panel electronics, operating-system settings, and the browser itself can influence what you see. The deliberate 8-, 16-, and 32-step patterns are included for comparison.
