Color Correction Algorithm for Reproducing Spot Colors

Ph.D. Candidate: Mr. Jyoti Tandukar

This research proposes an engineering solution for reproducing spot colors, with which, the desired color can be matched across different monitors and printers. In contrast to the existing color matching processes, this approach does not need device characterization and calibration. Even when the theoretical conversion of color from one color space to another doesn’t reproduce acceptable color due to various factors of the color device, dyes, media, and the dyeing environment, the color can be corrected using this algorithm based on available color information of the sample and its initial output.

Since this algorithm can calculate and correct color formulation to reproduce the desired color, it can be extended to the Dyeing Industry so as to radically reduce the number of base colors they are otherwise stocking for their color reproduction process. The findings of this research can be of utmost significance for the computer industry as a whole, and can be subsequently applied in carpet designing, corporate logo and product designing, advertisement designing, printing, etc. too, that do contain specific colors that need to be accurately reproduced.
