How important it is color accuracy for Software Revit and design. If someone use AutoCAD, AutoDesk or Solid works what are the acceptable % SRGB or AdobeRGB for that? It is difficult finding a laptop with a good display.

That's not 100% accuracy as stated before. We still don't know what line of work he does. In any case, a workstation laptop with a decent ips is probably the best he could get.

So what are the measurements for color accuracy, the problem is, my brother can't be more specific. He only said that he needs an accurate color. He asked me to do the research even though that I have no knowledge at all in this area.

Good color is a combination of color gamut (to show more colors) and delta e (the deviation from the color it's supposed to be showing vs the color it is showing) which you'd only find in pro reviews. 70% adobe rgb, 100% srgb is around your average decent display. A good pro monitor will be 90%+ adobe rgb. Delta e you want <2. The only way you'd get accurate monitor specs is with a pro review of the monitor. The spec sheet can be wrong as companies tend to just put the norm, like 72% srgb and 1:1000 static contrast on all monitors even when they aren't capable of that.

At least that's the simple explanation. There's lots of other things that get tested for good looks like delta e for saturation, gamma, grayscale, luminance, contrast ratio, color uniformity, brightness uniformity, etc.

Well, it is going to be difficult for him, I guess that he has to do his own research this time. Since I'm completely different than him, It wouldn't matter which monitors I pick.

A laptop screen is not really suitable for applications which demand colour accuracy & uniformity across displays, you can't calibrate them properly with commercial colorimeter/software solutions because they don't have those essential hardware brightness/contrast/colour temp controls like (most) good external monitors do.

Well, I guess that he is out of luck as he needs a laptop, I tried to convince him to get a desktop but he needs it to be able to do all the works on the go. The best thing I can come up with is 100% SRGB and I don't know if it is enough for him. the actual question is that do we actually really need 100% accuracy for this line of work? or does any IPS 100% SRGB will do enough?
