ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of producing color-comparable photographs with which a prosthetic fabrication artist can determine whether photographs taken of an amputee's extremity are color-true and whether recorded color selections, matching pre-designated areas of the extremity, were accurately chosen. A prosthetic technician, or another skilled in the art, takes color photographs of an amputee's extremity on a duplicate copy of a colored background which has a neutral colored central area and a perimeter band of various human fleshtone or skin colors. The technician matches certain colors in the perimeter color-band to pre-designated areas of the extremity and records them on a color selection diagram. The photographs and color selection diagram are forwarded to the fabricating artist who uses them to determine the proper coloration of a prosthetic restoration by comparing the colored background shown in the photograph with a second duplicate copy of the colored background in the possession of the fabricating artist.
