COLOR TONING DATABASE FOR USER AND ITS OPERATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a color toning database for users, enabling users of color paint to simply and accurately tone paints and enabling paint performance deterioration due to toning to be avoided by exhibiting both the standard quantity of basic paint and the mixing quantity of pigment fluid for toning for every target color to be toned as digitized data. SOLUTION: The method of this invention is to exhibit data consisting of the standard weight or volume quantity of basic paint and the mixing weight or volume quantity (based on the standard quantity of the basic paint) of pigment fluid for toning color for every target color to be toned. When the mixing quantity data comprise (i) mixing quantity data of a rough toning pigment fluid having high concentration of pigment, shown by a large weight or volume unit of measure based on the standard quantity of each basic paint and (ii) mixing quantity data of a fine toning pigment fluid having low concentration of pigment, shown by a weight or volume unit of measure scaled up with the factor of dilution, more accurate toning and the prevention of paint deterioration become preferably possible.
