Refinishers are under pressure to choose a colour formula that, to them, looks closest to the vehicle colour they\u2019re repairing. They have to rely on what they see, and how they see it. But thanks to the advanced digital Cromax\u00ae spectrophotometer ChromaVision\u00ae, refinishers can have wholly accurate colour readings to help ensure an invisible repair.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Cashel, Marketing Manager for Axalta Coating Systems in the UK and Ireland, says, \u201cthe furore on social media over the last few days about the colour of a dress has underscored two very pertinent points for the refinish industry. First, just how hard visually identifying colours can be, and second, that people perceive colours very differently. Of course, refinishers don&#8217;t have to worry about accidently repairing a white car with blue paint, but when it comes to distinguishing between extraordinarily subtle, but ultimately hugely different, hues, tones and effect, those two principles still apply. ChromaVision\u00ae does away with the need to match painted colour chips visually; it measures the exact colour of the paint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once the colour reading is complete, ChromaVision\u00ae then selects the closest colour formula based on pre-set search criteria that are entered by the refinisher. The handheld compact device\u2019s internal light source also means colour matching can take place in the bodyshop without the need for natural light.<\/p>\n<p>Cashel says, \u201cThe technology behind ChromaVision\u00ae produces such accurate colour measurements that refinishers shouldn\u2019t have to worry about costly rework due to poor colour matches. Simply connect ChromaVision\u00ae to the relevant software, and its data is fed to the scales. Refinishers can rest easy knowing it will be the exact colour of the vehicle. But I can\u2019t guarantee it would work on a dress.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The debate has been raging on social media for days: blue and black, or white and gold?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7216,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[380,340,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-axalta","category-cromax","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What colour is that?
