  • Method for generating a formula for calculating mottling of a paint film, and a quantification method of the mottling
    Patent number: 7283239
    Abstract: A method for generating a calculation formula to obtain an accurate mottling value is disclosed. Two-dimensional data and color values of a target paint film are considered. The calculation formula provides a method for numerically expressing the mottling of the target paint film.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of designing paint in which performances are predicted and verified
    Publication number: 20040122648
    Abstract: A method of designing paint is disclosed, the method including the steps of: acquiring color numerical information of a designated color from a client computer connected to a server computer, determining ingredients of the paint based on the acquired color numerical information and paint ingredient information, predicting performances of the ingredient-determined paint based on paint performance prediction information, and verifying the predicted performances of the ingredient-determined paint. The step of predicting the performances and the step of verifying the predicted performances ensure the designing of paint of which performances are approvable.
