Advanced colour matching theory

Abstract

Traditionally, computer colour matching systems have employed the Kubelka‐Munk algorithms. This approach makes many assumptions which do not hold true when colour matching in non‐hiding applications such as printing inks, plastics and woodstains. A many flux mathematical model has been proven to give accurate colour matches across all regions of optical density. The GretagMacbeth ProPalette™ colour matching software employs this many flux approach; allowing the user to obtain a higher percentage of first time matches for transparent, translucent and opaque colours.
