Computerized color matching

摘要

Method and apparatus for matching a selected color with predetermined available paint colors wherein a portable color meter is used to analyze a selected color and store chromaticity data representing the hue, chroma and brightness of the selected color. That stored chromaticity data is coupled to a computer which compares it with stored chromaticity data in the computer representing available color formulas and then selects one of the stored paint formulas most closely matching the chromaticity data representing the selected color.
