Process for the production of a color palette
First Claim
1. A method of producing a color palette including color patterns associated with a particular coloring process and substrate, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing color mixing modeling data relating to the particular coloring process and substrate;
b) defining a plurality of color patterns in a color space by color coordinates, wherein each color pattern represents a mixture of a plurality of base colors; and
c) calculating spectral data for each color pattern of the plurality of color patterns using the color mixing modeling data.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for producing a color palette including a multitude of color patterns for a predetermined coloring process with a multitude of defined base colors and for a predetermined substrate. The individual color patterns are systematically, especially equidistantly, defined in a mathematically defined color space by the way of color coordinates describing the color space. The spectrum of the color pattern is synthesized by calculation for each color pattern in the color space by way of a color mixing model representing the predetermined coloring process and the predetermined substrate, whereby that spectrum is selected having the highest color constancy. The spectra synthesized by calculation are stored in relation to the color coordinates of the underlying color patterns. Through use of a mathematical/physical basis (such as the CIE-system), it is possible to define a visually equidistant color space and assign a spectral curve to individual points having the best color constancy.
