Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing color pastes, in which a component comprising colorant particles is dispersed in a binder. In the method of the invention the dispersing operation is controlled by beaming excitational light of a defined wavelength range into a mixture of the component comprising colorant particles and the binder, detecting the light transmitted, reflected and/or scattered by the mixture and determining a sample spectrum, evaluating the sample spectrum and hence determining parameters of the color paste, and monitoring changes in the sample spectrum over time and terminating the dispersing operation when predetermined target parameters are attained.

Abstract: In the method and apparatus for the colorimetric measurement of effect and solid-color paints, light from a light source (1) irradiates at least one detection area (2) on a painted measured area (4) of a sample (3) and the light reflected from the measured area (4) of the sample (3) is received by a two-dimensional detector (5). The illumination and the detection angles are adjusted with respect to each other relative to the measured area and RGB values of the light received by the two-dimensional detector for a plurality of angles are registered as a function of the illumination and detection angle and supplied to a data-processing device. By means of a data processing program, the data sets obtained in this way are assigned to the 3-D data of a virtual three-dimensional substrate, in particular a virtual automobile body or its parts, at a virtual illumination and viewing angle of the virtual substrate and are visualized by means of a reproduction device.
