International. X-Rite Incorporated and its subsidiary Pantone LLC presented during the European Coatings Show in Germany their range of color measurement and management solutions for the paints and coatings industry.
The company showcased its latest solutions to help attendees accurately represent, measure and ensure the consistency of paints and coatings used in the automotive, electronics and other industries.
X-Rite previewed Color-Eye, a new solution that helps customers buy products whose colors accurately match the colors of the items they have in their homes. Shoppers can use their smartphones with a color calibration card to measure the color of any item they wish to match. Color readings are synchronized with a retailer's shopping mobile app to show customers a variety of matches or coordinated products.
