Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determination of a matching variant of a standard colour of a repair paint matching the effect colour of an object to be repaired, the method comprising the steps of a) determination of the standard colour of the colour of the object to be repaired, and b) determination of the best matching variant of the standard colour from a given number of variant colours, wherein ? a swatch coated with the colour of the standard colour is visually compared under at least two different angles of illumination and/or observation with the colour to be matched, ? the visual deviation from the standard colour and the colour of the object to be matched being evaluated on the basis of predetermined deviations for the visual properties, wherein the predetermined visual properties comprise at least one colour property and at least one texture property, ? based on the predetermined deviations for the visual properties of the standard colour and the colour of the object to be matched, the best ma

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of selecting the most probable variant of a matching paint candidate color standard for vehicle repair using a mobile device having a color display and an input unit and which is capable of data exchange with a central computer via an at least partly wireless communication line, wherein verbal or symbolic characterizations describing visual differences between a selected candidate color standard and identified variants are displayed on the display of the mobile device.

Abstract: Process of color calibrating an electronic display screen comprising the steps of displaying at least one trial color of at least one physical sample having standardized color on an electronic display screen, visually comparing the color of the at least one physical sample and the at least one trial color displayed on the electronic display screen, selecting the trial color having the best visual match with the at least one physical sample, and using the selected trial color on the electronic display screen having the best visual match with the at least one physical sample color to color calibrate the electronic display screen.

Abstract: A method for matching colour properties and texture properties of a repair paint to colour properties and texture properties of a paint film on a substrate to be repaired is provided. In the method, the texture of the paint film is imaged with a digital imaging device, the imaged texture is analyzed using image analysis software, texture data is calculated, and the repair paint is formulated on the basis of the concentrations of paint modules, wherein each paint module is associated to specified texture data and colour data.
