Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for color management by a retailer comprising the steps of: choosing an engineered color standard (ECS); communicating the ECS to a product vendor; having a product produced using the ECS; and controlling the product's color quality by comparing the ECS to the produced product. The ECS preferably comprises reflectance data and a dye specification.

Abstract: A color approval system that facilitates the use of electronic color submissions. The electronic color submissions contain reflectance values for a physical color sample to be submitted for approval. The system includes a data storage area accessible by a submitter of the electronic color sample and a reviewer of the color sample. The submitter upload the submission to the data storage area, from which the reviewer retrieves the submission and replies with an acceptance or rejection, typically via e-mail. The system provides tools for the analysis of the electronic color sample and automatic formation of acceptances and rejections.

Abstract: A color matching system including a database of information describing colorants organized into groups of colorants. A computing device identifies at least one recipe of colorants that can reproduce a desired color by selecting at least one group of colorants, identifying possible recipes using the colorants in the group and selecting a best recipe from the possible recipes based on a recipe cost and a calculated metamerism of the recipe.
