The instant invention is a process for dying a-non-skin material to match an individual's skin tone. The skin is scanned by any color measuring device which digitalizes the color value and imputes that value into a computer based software program. The software program compares the individual's color value to a-digitalized predetermined library of colorants and a-digitalized predetermined library of non-skin materials. The program considers such things as the properties of the non-skin material to-determine a colorant mix. The colorant mix consists of the particular colorants needed and the quantity of each colorant needed to formulate a color match. The data for the color match is transferred to a computer controlled pumping mixing system which produces the amount of color match needed. The non-skin material is dyed and dried. To ensure that the dyed non-skin material matches the individual's skin tone, the dried non-skin material is then scanned by the color measurement device, given a non-skin material color value, digitalized, and imputed into the software program. The digital non-skin material color value is compared to the individual's color value. If the two values are within an acceptable predetermined range, then the dyed product is finished, if not the dyed product is rejected.
