Method and apparatus for assigning at least one human-perceived attribute to a sample coating

A computer-implemented method for assigning at least one human-perceived attribute to a sample coating based on a visual evaluation of the sample coating with respect to a reference coating, said method comprising at a computing device with a display:

• (i) displaying on the display a user interface comprising at least one display image of a modified reference coating;
• and
• (ii) detecting with the computing device a user input being indicative of selecting at least one display image of the modified reference coating, wherein the user input is associated with the visual evaluation of the sample coating with respect to the reference coating;
• and
• (iii) in response to the detected user input, assigning with the computing device at least one human-perceived attribute to the sample coating.
