Datacolor announced its latest color tool, the RAL ColorReader for professionals and consumers.
The tool lets users scan the flat surface of any color to instantly find the precise RAL color match via its companion app. In addition to providing accurate color matches, users can tap on their color match to find coordinating colors, organized into monochromatic, analogous, triad and complementary color palettes, simplifying and facilitating the color matching and coordinating processes.
For the professional, the RAL ColorReader streamlines the workflow process, allowing architects, interior designers, and painters the ease and ability to accurately match paint colors right from the job site without having to remove wall samples and take them to the paint store. RAL ColorReader also provides precise color data (CIE Lab, RGB, Hex, CMYK, LCH and LRV) for digital design work, allowing users to easily convert color matches to other palettes if needed, the company says.
Colors can be saved and shared with staff, other design professionals or homeowners, and can be organized and labeled by job, room, or color palette.
