Abstract
A method and system for determining the color characteristics of a paint sample. The paint sample having at least one data carrier having data related to the color characteristics; an interrogator operable in a magnetic and/or electrical mode to emit interrogation signals to the data carrier, the data carrier being operable to emit the data in response to the interrogation signals.

6. A system for determining the color characteristics associated with an object, the system having:
-
a portion of the object having a coat of paint having at least one data carrier associated therewith, the data carrier including a computer readable medium having data related to the color characteristics;
an interrogator operable in a magnetic and/or electrical mode to emit interrogation signals to the data carrier, the data carrier being operable to emit the data in response to the interrogation signals;
a data repository coupled to the interrogator having at least one record having information related to the color characteristics;
whereby the data emitted by the data carrier is referenced with the at least one record to provide the information about the color characteristics. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. A method for identifying an object based on analysis of a sample of paint from said object, the method having the steps of:
-
embedding at least one data carrier in said sample of paint, said data carrier having data associated with said object, said data including a unique identifier related to said object;
said at least one data carrier having a comprising a first device operable in a magnetic and/or electrical mode to emit data in response to an interrogation signal applied by an external means. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
