1. A color coding system comprising:
- an input device for inputting information associated with a first object;
a processor for processing the information using a predetermined mapping to generate a plurality of color codes uniquely identifying the first object; and
an output device for generating color indicia from the plurality of color codes, wherein the color indicia encodes the information associated with the first object, wherein the color indicia is viewable on a physical substrate, and wherein the color indicia including a plurality of different colors selected from a predetermined palette lacking the color black.

Abstract
A color coding system and method process the data of an image or document to blend the data using a predetermined mapping to generate color indicia being a series of color bars or shapes having different lengths and heights. The color indicia is uniquely associated with the input data, and the use of color has a greater ability to visually distinguish one object from another.

11. A method for color coding a first object, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving information input into an input device, wherein the information is associated with a first object;
processing the information using a processor and a predetermined mapping;
generating a plurality of color codes uniquely identifying the first object;
generating color indicia from the plurality of color codes using an output device, wherein the color indicia encodes the information associated with the first object, wherein the color indicia is viewable on a physical substrate, and wherein the color indicia including a plurality of different colors selected from a predetermined palette lacking the color black. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
