Default Value Finder

Can someone tell me where I can purchase a value finder? I have a grayscale, I'm trying to find the red plastic that you hold over fabrics to determine values.

There are plastic glasses that are made for this use. Your shops can order a pair for you. They are not expensive.

Amazon carries a variety of hand held items and glasses. Just put 'value finder' in their search.
I have the red/green set. I like red fabrics and the red filter doesn't always work!

Or just go to Staples and buy a red report cover. Bigger, cheaper, and just as good at showing you color values. Splurge and get a green one too, for the red fabrics. lol

Great idea, I tried Staples but they don't carry the covers. I did find transparent film red and green at Dock Blick so I think I'll drop by tomorrow.

I have the glasses and they work great but they do make me dizzy if I wear them too long.

​Any red clear plastic will work. I used the red side of the 3D glasses that came in a cherries box for years.
