Perfecting the Color Maker infinite shade card technique

Abstract

Color Maker is a computer simulation of mixing colorants to generate a resultant true colour on screen. It can be described as the infinite shade card. It has obvious advantages to offer the paint coatings and printing ink industries, which are defined. However, applications can be made for Color Maker in all colour‐using industries. An example is given of its development as an accurate tool in determining true colours on pharmaceutical tablet coatings. Here, it evaluates the colour on the tablet in a three‐dimensional rendering of the colour, and produces what can be termed a three‐dimensional shade card.
