The angle reference is the angle between the incident and reflected light. The three common angles are 20°, 60°, and 85° these cover most of industries coatings applications.
| Gloss Range | 60° Value | Notes |
| High Gloss | >70 GU | If measurement exceeds 70 GU, measure at 20° |
| Medium Gloss | 10 – 70 GU | Measurements at 60° |
| Low Gloss | <10 GU | If measurement is less than 10 GU, measure at 85° |
