Abstract:
A laminated coating film (2) includes a metallic base layer (4) and a color clear layer 5, and produces a target color with the metallic base layer 4 and the color clear layer (5). The laminated coating film (2) is designed to have high chroma at the highlight, and further to provide an appearance of denseness. To address this, the laminated coating film satisfies the following formula (1): (RH(P)/RH(OA))>60 (1) where RH(P) represents a highlight reflectance of light of the target color, and RH(OA) represents an average highlight reflectance of light in a wavelength range outside a hue range of the target color.
Abstract:
The color device has a core 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 have the first and second level of whiteness, respectively. The discs extend perpendicularly outwardly from the core. The first disc is axially remote from the second disc so that a distance (d) is formed therebetween. The discs are aligned so that color cells of the first disc axially aligned with color cells of the second disc have identical hues except for different whiteness. The level of color saturation in the color cells is gradually increased radially outwardly from the core.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a colored appliance, which could be in the form of a standard color wheel in the form of a collapsible keychain or mailer. which is placed on or next to the colored item being photographed and used in a system to standardize the colors seen by a viewer. The consumer is sent a brochure with a color wheel or told to look at a standard overnight envelope like that of Fedex™ or USPS™. When looking at the digital photograph on the business's web site, the consumer would be able to instantly make adjustments to the colors on his computer monitor to see colors accurately by comparing the color wheel on the monitor to the overnight envelope's printed color or to a preferred standard color wheel.
Abstract:
A color comparison device uses a rotatable color sample-bonding wheel to hold a sticker containing a plurality of color shades for matching with a color of a test portion of a test stick as the wheel rotates. At least one recess is formed in a part of the sticker bonding surface of the wheel to permit access to an edge of the sticker to facilitate its removal from the wheel.
Abstract:
A color computer wheel includes a white base member upon which four concentrically arranged discs are rotatably mounted by a central fastener, the discs decreasing in diameter from bottom to top and being made of a transparent sheet material. The top disc carries four concentric annular bands, each evenly divided into radial spaces. The three lower discs are each dedicated to a single primary color, and carry color bands arranged to register with the bands of the topmost disc, the color bands being divided evenly into radial spaces with progressive color shades thereon. The peripheries of the four discs carry legend strips, which identify the percentage of color in the radial spaces in alignment therewith.
Abstract:
A method of depositing increments of colored resin in a groove formed in a groove formed in a surface of a transparent body, so that a color strip is formed in which at least one of three color properties, hue, value and chroma varies continuously along the length of the groove.
