A color chart for color calibration of imaging devices that has nearly identical calibration performance as the Macbeth ColorChecker or another set of reference colors, but with substantially fewer color patches. For example, the color chart has similar 2nd order statistical characteristics, auto-correlation matrix and major principal components as the Macbeth ColorChecker. The color chart is developed by applying Orthogonal Non-negative Matrix Factorization (ONMF) to the set of reference colors, using non-negativity and smoothness constraints to achieve physically realizable colors and using orthogonality constraints to obtain similar statistical properties to that of any input set of reflectances including, but not limited to, the Macbeth ColorChecker. Seven colors provide nearly identical calibration performance to that of twenty-four colors in the Macbeth ColorChecker.
