  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TINTING USING LOW-RESOLUTION SPECTROPHOTOMETER
    Publication number: 20240151585
    Abstract: A custom-tint paint production system that includes a color sensing device such as a low-resolution spectrophotometer to measure color of a preexisting surface color, a color data translation engine to convert the measured values to spectral curve values, and a tint formulation engine to determine a custom tint formulation based upon the spectral curve values, which is usable by a tinter to tint a base coating composition by adding one or more colorants in amounts based on color measurements from the color sensing device.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 10, 2024
    Publication date: May 9, 2024
    Inventors: Stephen M. Revnew, Anthony T. Congin, James A. Leonard, William M. Wharry
