摘要： A system and a method are provided for matching the color of a target sample at a remote location. The system has a first computer that is operative to receive and transmit target spectral data at a first location. A second computer in the system is located at a second location remote from the first computer. The second computer is operative to receive the target spectral data or formula identifier from the first computer. The system includes a database including a plurality of data sets. Each data set has at least spectral data corresponding to standard samples. The system also has software capable of searching the database using the target spectral data as search criteria and returning a match with a data set having standard spectral data that matches the target spectral data. The system optionally has a device that can sense the target spectral data of the target sample and input that target spectral data into the first computer, optionally also non-spectral data and QC capability.

摘要： A method of mapping color space with chromatic formulations, comprising the steps of (a) selecting a limited number of chromatics for use with a bulk material using selection criteria; (b) formulating the selected chromatics with white or black in the bulk material to generate a plurality of chromatic formulations, wherein such plurality of chromatic formulations populate a desirable volume of color space; and (c) computing additional chromatic formulations using algorithms reflecting the contributions of chromatics, white, and black to color, and incremental substitutions thereof. Optional steps in the method are also disclosed. The result can be a database of generated nodes and computed nodes filling desired regions or even the entirety of color space for a given polymeric bulk material. Usefulness includes the ability create, store and communicate chromatic formulations for the generated nodes, the computed nodes, or both for use anywhere in the world via electronic commerce of color matching.
