Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to the field of individual grooming, and more particularly to an improved method for selecting proper colors of individual articles of apparel, cosmetic make up or hair tint, the method being suitable for use by persons having only ordinary skills.
  • the result with a spectrophotometer will be a plottable curve covering the visual spectrum, which will show strength of varying degrees over the spectrum. This curve is matched with curves which are obtained by similar measurements of colors on fabrics or paper samples, which will exhibit similar blue and yellow red reflective properties. Practically all of the colors in the spectrum are available in each of the categories, for selection, provided that the particular color exhibits a curve which is similar to that obtained by measuring the skin pigmentation of the individual user.
  • a fist step consists in the establishment of a number of skin color categories. Each of the colors in each category exhibits a substantially similar plotted curve extending over the visible spectrum, obtained by spectroanalysis.
  • Classification A includes almost all of the colors of the visible spectrum. They have the highest intensity (50 to 100%) per spectrum analysis of the shorter wave lengths of the skin color spectrum, that is to say, the "blue base” tones. Black is also in this classification.
  • Classification B also includes most all colors, with the exclusion of black. They have the next highest or one to fifty percent intensity per spectrum analysis of the shorter wave lengths of the skin color spectrum, or the "blue based" tones.
  • Classification C also includes most of the colors, and these have a one to fifty percent intensity of the yellow red tones, or the longer wave lengths of the skin color spectrum, per spectrum analysis.
  • Classification D again, includes most of the colors, and they have the highest intensity of the yellow red tones, fifty to one hundred percent, or the longest wave lengths of the skin color spectrum, per spectrum analysis.
  • both the skin color undertones of an individual person and the labeling of the color of a dyed piece of material can be classified into one of the above four categories, it is possible to match the skin of the user to the material and determine the most compatible colors in a given material a person may wear, or use on their person.
  • Once the classification of the individual user is established it is possible to provide that person with a simplified color chart 10, as shown for example in Fig. 1, and the selection of a garment or articles to be worn may be matched as closely as possible from the standpoint of color to a color 12 on the chart.
  • a series of color charts 10 are prepared in which suitable colors 12 for each category are assembled. This might be done by displaying the colors on a single surface, or preferably individual swatches of fabric 16 exhibiting the proper colors can be assembled in a convenient package 20, as shown for example in Fig. 2.
