Claims157
A matching chart comprising:
- at least one comparison sample configured to simulate the appearance of a keratinous element,
- wherein the at least one comparison sample is configured to simulate a color and at least one appearance characteristic other than color of the keratinous element.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of comparison samples, each comparison sample being configured to simulate an appearance of a keratinous element,
- wherein each comparison sample is configured to simulate a color and at least one appearance characteristic other than color of the keratinous element.
A method of enabling an analysis of a keratinous element, the method comprising:
- transmitting at least one image simulating an appearance of a keratinous element, wherein the image is configured to simulate a color and at least one appearance characteristic other than color of the keratinous element;
- and
- comparing the keratinous element with the at least one image to determine if the at least one image substantially corresponds to the color and the at least one appearance characteristic other than color of the keratinous element.
