In the USA currently there is a television commercial in which people bring in weird stuff [like a giant purple walrus toy] and have paint made to that 'exact' color.
Many of us have gone to Home Depot/Lowes/whatever with a piece of trim and had paint made that 'matches'. How does this work? I assume there is a 'scanner' [some sort of filtered photoelectric eye] that outputs an RGB triple to a software routine that then produces a paint 'formula' that hardwarestoreguy can mix up. But how do you get from RGB to the paint formula? Can you go from a paint formula to RGB? Does anybody know where I can find a reference book/article on this? I've looked and come up empty.
