System and method for transforming color measurement data

A network-based method for transforming color measurement data, comprising:

• (a) providing a data transform or delta profile, the data transform or delta profile transforming color measurement data at a first network location from a first color calibration standard to a second color calibration standard used by a second color measuring instrument;
• (b) obtaining color measurement data using a first color measuring instrument based on the first color calibration standard at a second network location;
• and
• (c) selectively transforming the color measurement to a desired color calibration standard data using the data transform or delta profile, so as to restandardize the color measurement data to the second color calibration standard;
• wherein the selective transformation restandardizes the color measurement data from a first centroid based on said first color calibration standard associated with a first color measuring instrument type to a second centroid based on said second color calibration standard associated with a second color measuring instrument type.

A system for transformation of color measurement data, comprising:

• a processor in communication with memory, wherein;
• the memory contains at least one data transform or delta profile, the data transform or delta profile transforming color measurement data from a first color calibration standard used by a first color measuring instrument to a second color calibration standard used by a second color measuring instrument;
• and further wherein
• the processor is programmed to access the at least one data transform or delta profile and to run the data transform or delta profile so as to transform color measurement data generated by the first color measuring instrument from the first color calibration standard to the second color calibration standard;
• wherein the transformation restandardizes the color measurement data to a desired color calibration standard from a first centroid based on said first color calibration standard associated with a to a second centroid based on said second color calibration standard associated with a second color measuring instrument type.
