Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0186521A2] A system and method for selling coloring substances is presented herein. An application program for converting spectrophotometer measurements at client computers to color space coordinates is placed on a server. Spectrophotometer measurements are transmitted to the application program over a client/server connection. The application program converts the spectrophotometer measurements into a color space coordinate and stores records catalogued by the color space coordinate in a database at the server. Storage of color space coordinates of coloring substances at the server facilitates pairing of potential buyers and sellers. Additionally, storage of color space coordinates at the server also results in a larger number of records, thereby permitting greater flexibility in recipe calculations.
