Abstract: An improved process of matching the color of a paint to the pre-existing color of a vehicle is provided. The process includes the steps of exposing a photo-reactive film to the surface of the vehicle whose paint color is to be matched. Once exposed, pigments in the film are activated to mimic precisely the color of the vehicle. The pigments are then extracted, isolated and mixed with a neutral base paint solution, which is tinted by the pigments to match the color of the vehicle. The tinted and matched solution is used for painting or touch-up work on the vehicle.

Abstract: A colorimeter or color measuring device measures color of a sample or an object, and displays measurement value or values according to user defined index or indices, calculated by a user-defined formula. Data of the user-defined formula is read in from outside of the colorimeter and converted into a coded form which can be executed by a controller of the calorimeter. The data of the user-defined formula or the coded data is stored in the colorimeter. Accordingly, the colorimeter has good portability and convenience despite its capability of expressing the colors of various samples or objects by user-defined original index or indices.
