First Claim
1. A color matching system comprising:
- a swatch user interface for displaying at least one activatable color swatch for visually presenting a color corresponding to at least one color specification parameter specified according to a color characterization system;
at least one color control for specifying said color specification parameters; and
, a color matching module for computing a matching color based upon a color space matching parameter and color specification parameters corresponding to a color presented in an activated color swatch in said swatch user interface, said color matching module identifying a color matching said color presented in said activated color swatch.

Abstract
A computerized color matching method can include receiving at least one color space matching parameter for matching a first color to a second color. The first color can correspond to color specification parameters defined in a color characterization system. Second, based upon the color specification parameters of the first color and the color space matching parameter, new color specification parameters can be computed. The new color specification parameters can correspond to said second color. As such, the second color can match the first color. The computing step can also include computing new color specification parameters based upon the color specification parameters of the first color, the color space matching parameter, and a randomly generated value.

15. A method for performing computerized color matching comprising the steps of:
-
receiving at least one color space matching parameter for matching a first color to a second color, said first color corresponding to color specification parameters defined in a color characterization system; and
,based upon said color specification parameters of said first color and said color space matching parameter, computing new color specification parameters, said new color specification parameters corresponding to said second color;
whereby said second color matches said first color. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A machine readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections for computerized color matching, said code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
-
receiving at least one color space matching parameter for matching a first color to a second color, said first color corresponding to color specification parameters defined in a color characterization system; and
,based upon said color specification parameters of said first color and said color space matching parameter, computing new color specification parameters, said new color specification parameters corresponding to said second color;
whereby said second color matches said first color. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66)
