If you’re an artist using computers to do your work, you likely need to make sure that all your colours are accurate as possible. Thus you need a colour sensor. These aren’t cheap. But thanks to Indiegogo, there’s another option. The Nix Sensor.
The patent pending color sensor is compatible with iPhone, Android, PC, and Mac. It stores accurate color properties, which can be matched to real life color pigments. Colors of images or objects can be scanned and saved on the device with a swatch name and description. The swatch can then be viewed in any color model including RGB, CMYK, HSL, HSV, XYZ, HTML, and Lab. Next, the swatch can be converted to multiple mediums including wall paint, oil paint, makeup, watercolor, hobby paints, wood stain, automotive paint and more. Even crayon color can be selected for serious coloring book artists. Then, the user can select a particular brand of that medium. For instance, various brands of wall paint can be selected such as Behr, Sherwin-Williams, Ralph Lauren, etc. Once the color, medium type, and brand are selected, the user can search for a nearby store that sells the color product. This brings this technology down to those who usually don’t have access to this sort of technology, such as interior designers, fine artists, makeup artists, architects, and anyone who deals with creating colour services.
The Nix Sensor has already has gone through one round of Indiegogo funding. But there’s a second round of funding ongoing. Click here for more info. Early bird supporters of the Indiegogo project will receive 50% off the retail price of the device. Only 100 slots are available for the early bird special. Other supporters receive the colour sensor at 30% off.
