Abstract:
A method of testing the color quality of a colored gemstone is disclosed, taking the gem color as an entirety visually composed of different color components, whose total amount of color components is constant, so as to calculate hue-purity, color-strength and relative chromaticity of the gem color to test the color quality. The method comprises the following steps: (1) determining blackness, chromaticness and hue of the gem color; (2) calculating the hue-purity, color-strength and relative chromaticity in accordance with the blackness, chromaticness and hue; (3) finding a matching color in a pre-established standard color library for this specific gemstone according to the hue-purity, color-strength and relative chromaticity calculated in step (2), and use the name of the matching color to indicate the gem color and color quality.
Abstract:
A dental imaging and illumination device. The device has an optical interface for emitting light from the device and for receiving light into the device. The device has a light source, a camera, a beam splitter and a color reference. The color reference and the light source are optically coupled via an optical path so that the light source can illuminate the color reference. This optical path bypasses the beam splitter. The device facilitates color measuring particularly in the field of dentistry.
Abstract:
A color calibration chart may be created including a plurality of colors that are variations of a print color established for printing a reference color by a printing system using multiple colors. The colors in the calibration chart may be measured. A color from the calibration chart may be selected for printing the reference color which has a measurement value indicative of a color consistency within a predefined distance from a reference value for the print color.

Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are related to a color target and methods and systems for estimating a spectral reflectance of the color target based on an image of the color target. The color target can include a substrate having a target surface, a sample window formed in the substrate and defining perimeter within which a sample surface is disposed, and one or more filters disposed the sample surface. The one or more filters are configured to cover a first portion of the sample surface, while leaving a second portion of the sample surface uncovered.
Abstract:
The color device (300) has a core (302) with hues that gradually change whiteness, respectively. The discs have hues covering an entire color spectrum at a certain level of whiteness. All hues of the first and second discs (308, 306) have the first and second level of whiteness, respectively. The discs extend perpendicularly outwardly from the core. The first disc (308) is axially remote from the second disc (306) so that a distance (d) is formed therebetween. The discs are aligned so that color cells of the first disc (308) axially aligned with color cells of the second disc (306) have identical hues except for different whiteness. The level of color saturation in the color cells is gradually increased radially outwardly from the core (302).
