COLOR SCIENCE AND THE PAINT INDUSTRY
THE PRINCIPAL COLOR PROBLEMS OF THE PAINT INDUSTRY ARE COLOR CONTROL, COLOR PERMANENCE, COLORANT FORMULATION, AND FILING OF PAINT INFORMATION ACCORDING TO COLOR. TO ASSIST IN SOLVING THESE PROBLEMS, COLOR SCIENCE HAS TO OFFER, FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE SPECTROPHOTOMETER, SECOND, THE WEIGHTING FUNCTIONS DEFINING THE 1931 CIE STANDARD OBSERVER FOR COLORIMETRY, THIRD, THE PHOTOELECTRIC TRISTIMULUS COLORIMETER, FOURTH, VARIOUS TRIDIMENSIONAL SYSTEMS OF COLOR NOTATION, AND FINALLY, THE KUBELKA-MUNK THEORY OF THE LIGHT REFLECTED BY A LAYER WHICH BOTH ABSORBS AND BACK-SCATTERS THE INCIDENT LIGHT. THE SPECTROPHOTOMETER ASSISTS IN COLOR CONTROL BY PROVIDING A PERMANENT RECORD OF THE REFLECTANCE OF THE PAINT CHIP AS ORIGINALLY PREPARED. IT ALSO PROVIDES THE BASIC DATA BY MEANS OF WHICH COLORANT FORMULATION BY INSTRUMENTS IS POSSIBLE. TRIDIMENSIONAL SYSTEMS OF COLOR NOTATION PROVIDE CONVENIENT FORMS FOR FILING OF PAINT RECIPES AND PRODUCTION NOTES. THE KUBELKA-MUNK THEORY PROVIDES THE BASIC STRUCTURE BY WHICH COLORANT FORMULATION BY INSTRUMENTATION BECOMES ROUTINELY PRACTICAL FOR LARGE ORGANIZATIONS. /AUTHOR/
