Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 183)

In addition to a well-calibrated broadcast display, video scopes provide a fast and accurate
way to quantitatively evaluate and compare images.
Color provides most of the video scope displays that you’d find in other online video and
color correction suites and includes a few that are unique to software-based image
analysis. Together, these scopes provide graphic measurements of the luma, chroma,
and RGB levels of the image currently being monitored, helping you to unambiguously
evaluate the qualities that differentiate one shot from another. This feature lets you make
more informed decisions while legalizing or comparing shots in Color.
