A color measuring system includes a color measuring section configured to perform color measurement, a receiving section configured to receive designation of a color sample book, a selecting section configured to, in response to the color measurement being performed, compare colors of the color sample book and a color measured by the color measuring section and automatically select colors close to the measured color out of the color sample book, and a notifying section configured to notify the selected colors to a user as approximate colors of the measured color.
Claims6
A color measuring system comprising:
- a color measurement sensor configured to perform color measurement;
- and
- a processor configured to receive designation of a color sample book,
- the processor being configured to, in response to the color measurement being performed, compare colors of the color sample book and a color measured by the color measurement sensor and automatically select colors close to the measured color out of the color sample book,
- the processor being configured to notify the selected colors to a user as approximate colors of the measured color,
- the processor being configured to select a plurality of colors out of the colors of the color sample book in order from a color closest to the measured color, and
- the processor being configured to notify the selected plurality of colors while switching, according to an instruction of the user, a first notification for arranging the selected plurality of colors in at least one line in order from a color closest to the measured color and notifying the selected plurality of colors to the user as the approximate colors and a second notification for arranging the selected plurality of colors on a color space and notifying the selected plurality of colors to the user as the approximate colors.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer, which communicates with a color measurement sensor, to execute:
- receiving designation of a color sample book;
- in response to color measurement being performed by the color measurement sensor, comparing colors of the color sample book and a color measured by the color measurement sensor and automatically selecting colors close to the measured color out of the color sample book;
- and
- notifying the selected colors to a user as approximate colors of the measured color,
- the selecting of the colors including selecting a plurality of colors out of the colors of the color sample book in order from a color closest to the measured color, and
- the notifying of the selected colors including notifying the selected plurality of colors while switching, according to an instruction of the user, a first notification for arranging the selected plurality of colors in at least one line in order from a color closest to the measured color and notifying the selected plurality of colors to the user as the approximate colors and a second notification for arranging the selected plurality of colors on a color space and notifying the selected plurality of colors to the user as the approximate colors.
