Sometimes it becomes difficult to adjust the colors on a computer display or on a document that makes the whole project look entirely different that what you expect. Till date there were only limited tools for color matching and were quiet complicated to use.
The Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) scientists are now developing a color language that will make adjusting colors as simple as describing a color. The users will just have to type the color name or give a voice command which will be rightly executed by the software. This software translates human descriptions of color into the precise numerical codes that machines use to print color documents. The main work to be done in this project is development of a mapping language that can connect the human dimension to the mathematical dimension.
0At the 2007 Annual Meeting of the Inter-Society Color Council (ISCC), Woolfe described his work in a paper called ‘Natural Language Color Editing.’ Xerox has filed for patents on the technology.
The technology is still under development and will be of great use for non-experts as well as graphic artists, printers, photographers and other professionals who spend a significant amount of time fine tuning the colors in documents as using this technology the printers may be set to print a document in the desired shade.
