METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF A MATCHING COLOUR VARIANT
First Claim
1. A method of determination of a matching variant of a standard color of a repair paint matching the effect color of an object to be repaired, the method comprising the steps ofa) determination of the standard color of the color of the object to be repaired, andb) determination of the best matching variant of the standard color from a given number of variant colors,whereina swatch coated with the color of the standard color is visually compared under at least two different angles of illumination and/or observation with the color to be matched,the visual deviation from the standard color and the color of the object to be matched being evaluated on the basis of predetermined deviations for the visual properties, wherein the predetermined visual properties comprise at least one color property and at least one texture property,based on the predetermined deviations for the visual properties of the standard color and the color of the object to be matched, the best matching variant of the standard color is determined.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method of determination of a matching variant of a standard colour of a repair paint matching the effect colour of an object to be repaired, the method comprising the steps of a) determination of the standard colour of the colour of the object to be repaired, and b) determination of the best matching variant of the standard colour from a given number of variant colours, wherein • a swatch coated with the colour of the standard colour is visually compared under at least two different angles of illumination and/or observation with the colour to be matched, • the visual deviation from the standard colour and the colour of the object to be matched being evaluated on the basis of predetermined deviations for the visual properties, wherein the predetermined visual properties comprise at least one colour property and at least one texture property, •based on the predetermined deviations for the visual properties of the standard colour and the colour of the object to be matched, the best matching variant of the standard colour is determined.
