Patent Images
1. A computer system for providing a color solution to a customer, comprising:
- a first module located at a remote location and being adapted to receive a solution request from an operator; and
, a second module coupled to the first module and being located at a central location, the second module including a composite solution database and a search routine coupled to the composite solution database and being adapted to receive the solution request from the first module, the search routine being adapted to search the composite solution database and determine the color solution as a function of the solution request.

Abstract
A computer based system and method provides color solutions to a customer. A solution request from an operator located at a remote location is received and delivered to a central location over a computer network. A composite solution database is searched to determine a color solution as a function of the solution request.
