Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of accurately reproducing a color of a mixed product is provided. A color management computing system receives one or more inputs indicative of a target color. The color management computing system transmits a command to a product mixing device to dispense color component products to be mixed to create a mixed product of a first color. The color management computing system obtains an image that includes the mixed product. The color management computing system updates a display color correction profile based on a comparison of a captured color of the mixed product in the image to the target color. The color management computing system presents one or more instances on a display device of an adjusted target color indicative of the updated display color correction profile, in response to receiving a subsequent request to change the target color.
