ABSTRACT:
A computer color-matching apparatus includes a colorimeter, a micro-brilliance-feeling measuring device, and a computer in which a plurality of paint blends, color data and micro-brilliance-feeling data corresponding to each of the paint blends, and the color characteristic data and micro-brilliance-feeling characteristic of a plurality of full-color paints are entered. A computer color-matching method for brilliant paints includes measuring the paint film of a reference color by a colorimeter to obtain the color data of the reference color, measuring the paint film of a reference color by a micro-brilliance-feeling measuring device to obtain micro-brilliance-feeling data of the reference color, and comparing the color data and micro-brilliance-feeling data of the reference color with the color data and micro-brilliance-feeling data corresponding to the paint blend previously entered in a computer, and selecting a prospective paint blend.
