And Color Variant Descriptor provides detailed information to the user in a multitude of languages \u2013 or with a set of easy to understand icons \u2013 on how a range of variants will differ in comparison to the reference colour in terms of lightness, intensity\/saturation, colour direction and texture.<\/p>\n<p>While digital colour chips on computer screens have been available in the past, these were not derived from the high level analysis used by A&amp;AC with its six angle AM6i spectrophotometer, which includes an on-board digital camera to measure texture.<br \/>\nWith CoD, the user can use the \u201cspotlight\u201d button to see how a more intense light source alters the appearance, and to represent subtle effects like sparkle and texture. CoD also shows the surface as a curve, so the viewer sees how color and effect change with different viewing angles. By adding essential information from A&amp;AC\u2019s extensive database, the ColorManager software is able with CVD to precisely describe color variants. That means far less work with spray-outs, saving time, money, and materials, and delivering greater colour accuracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AkzoNobel\u2019s Automotive &amp; Aerospace Coatings (A&amp;AC) division has introduced Color on Display and Color Variant Descriptor, two powerful new colour tools that give repair professionals by far the most accurate on-screen representation and description of both standard colours and variants ever available.
