Abstract
A hair colorant selection and formulation system including one or more of a hair color analyzer operable to determine hair color of a hair sample and match the determined hair color to a color in a color space, a hair color selector operable in combination with a fiber optic hair sample to generate the color selected in a color space in the optical fibers of a fiber optic hair sample, and a hair colorant mixer which operates to mix a hair colorant, which can be individually, or in various combinations, operably coupled to one or more computing devices through one or more server computers via a network which supports a hair colorant selection and hair colorant formulation program accessible by the one or more computing devices.

An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one light emitter which emits visible light;
- a shell having a reflective interior surface extending to a shell outer edge;
- an annular base having an annular base outer edge and an annular base inner edge, said shell outer edge connected to said shell inner edge, said annular base inner edge defining an optical aperture;
- an optical tube having an optical tube first end connected to said annular base about said optical aperture and extending to an optical tube second end, said optical tube configured to deliver said visible light onto a substrate at an angle theta;
- a light receiving tube having a light receiving tube first end coupled to said shell and a second end disposed in said optical tube to receive said visible light when said visible light reflected from said substrate;
- and
- a first color detector disposed in said light receiving tube to detect said visible light reflected from said substrate.
