Abstract: The present invention is directed to an automotive color matching system and method that may be implemented on a smartphone or other computing device. The method comprises receiving at least one digital image of a vehicle captured by a camera in communication with a processor of the computing device; analyzing the digital image of the vehicle to determine vehicle information (e.g., the make, model, and/or model year of the vehicle); and determining color information (e.g., a color formula for each of the colors associated with the vehicle information). A final paint color selected from the colors in the color information may be transmitted to a dispenser or scale for application of paint to the vehicle. Various embodiments of the automotive color matching system and method are disclosed.
