Abstract: A portable color measuring device is provided that includes a hand-holdable housing. The color measuring device is configured to receive an independently operable processing device that is mounted to the housing. The independently operable processing device is a portable general purpose computer that executes software applications to control the operation of the color measuring device and process color data. The color measuring device measures the color properties of a sample by illuminating the sample with a light source. The measured properties are processed and/or analyzed by the independently operable processing device and results are displayed to a user. Software applications reside on the independently operable processing device allowing software upgrades or modifications to be easily performed. New applications can be downloaded to the processing device or the processing device can be interchanged with a different processing device.

Abstract: A method for improved, automated, repeatable color matching on materials with different properties is provided. The method includes color matching on different materials using acquired, manipulated, and synthetic reflectance curve data. In one example, resulting synthesized reflectance data is employed in formulating a matching colorant. An example method uses a spectrophotometer to collect reflectance curve data from a physical sample colored to a desired color. The reflectance curve data is employed to produce computer display outputs of substrates as they would be appear if colored with the desired color. The method includes using a colorimeter to collect colorimetric data from the outputs on the display. The sets of colorimetric data are compared and data that facilitate manipulating the reflectance curve data associated with the desired color is produced. The synthetic reflectance curve data facilitates producing matches for the various substrates as colored and displayed on the computer display. The synthetic reflectance curve data may also be used to manipulate colorant formulae.
