Abstract
A system and method for converting a color formula from compositions such as paints, pigments, or dye formulations, is provided. The input to the system is a first color formula. The system includes an input device for entering a plurality of color formula values and an artificial intelligence conversion model coupled to the input device. The conversion model produces an output signal for communicating a second color formula. The artificial intelligence model may be embodied in a neural network. More specifically, the conversion model may be a back propagation neural network.
