It is a color sample set characterized by combining quantity data (AD) and a color sample card set (C) comprising a plurality of color sample cards (B).

  According to the color presentation method described in claim 1, the color can be determined quickly and easily.

If the color sample set according to claims 2 to 5 is used, the color can be determined quickly and easily.

  An example of the color presentation method and color sample set of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the following examples, and can be implemented in various forms within the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows a color sample card (A) 11 in which 15 paint color samples 21 are arranged, and a color sample card (B) in which eight representative color samples of the color sample card color sample card (A) 11 are arranged. ) 12. In the color presentation method presentation, colors are presented using these two color sample cards.

  The group of color samples arranged on the color sample card (A) 11 is referred to as “group a” in the following description. Group a is a group of color samples of paints that are colored by adding substantially the same pigment to the base paint, and the color of the paint with the largest amount of pigment added to the base paint (hereinafter “deepest color”). A1 is a color of the paint with the smallest amount of pigment added to the base paint (hereinafter referred to as “lightest color”). ).

  In the color sample card (A) 11 of FIG. 1, the 15 color samples of group a are arranged in two rows, but they may be arranged in one row or three or more rows. If the number of color samples is large, a plurality of color sample cards (A) 11 may be provided. For example, a1 to a8 may be arranged on the first color sample card (A) in the group a, and a9 to a10 may be arranged on another color sample card (A). Among them, it is particularly easy to see and easy to select a color from the darkest color to the lightest color arranged in a line.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of groups of color samples can be arranged on the first color sample card (A). In the color sample card (A) 21 of FIG. 2, in addition to group a, color samples of group b and group c colored with a pigment different from group a are arranged. Group b and group c are arranged in descending order of the darkest colors b1 and c1, and the amount of pigment added is large.

  In order to arrange the color swatches on the color swatch card (A) 11, a color swatch made in a predetermined size may be attached to the color swatch card (A) 11, or the paint may be directly applied to the color swatch card (A). A) You may paint on 11. The material of the color sample and the color sample card (A) is not particularly limited. For example, paper, a resin film, a resin plate, etc. can be used.

  The base paint is a paint on which the color sample is based, and a paint colored in a specific color is used. The specific color is not particularly limited, but white is preferable in consideration of adding a pigment based on the color and coloring the pigment. An uncolored paint (clear paint) can also be used as a base paint. However, in such a paint, the color change due to increase or decrease in the amount of pigment added is small. It is preferable to use a coating material that has been prepared.

  In addition, the kind of coating material etc. are not specifically limited. It may be a water-based paint using a water-based solvent as a solvent, a solvent-based paint using an organic solvent as a solvent, or a paint other than these. Also, the binder used in the paint may be a resin or the like generally used in the paint, for example, acrylic resin, urethane resin, epoxy resin, melamine resin, alkyd resin, vinyl chloride resin, silicone resin, acetic acid. A synthetic resin such as a vinyl resin, a polyester resin, a styrene resin, or a fluororesin, or a natural resin or natural fat or oil can be used. These resins may be used alone or may be copolymerized.

  As the pigment, those generally used for paints may be used. Titanium oxide, zinc oxide, chrome lead, zinc white, ocher, bengara, carbon black, cadmium red, molybdenum red, chrome yellow, chrome oxide Inorganic pigments such as Prussian blue and cobalt blue, azo pigments, diketopyrrolopyrrole pigments, benzimidazolone pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, quinacridone pigments, isoindoline pigments, isoindolinone pigments, selenium pigments And organic color pigments such as perylene pigments, perinone pigments, and dioxane pigments.

  These pigments may be used alone, or pigments prepared by mixing two or more of these pigments may be used. The above-mentioned “same pigment” refers to a pigment when one kind of pigment is used. When a pigment made by mixing two or more kinds of pigments is used, two or more kinds of pigments are specified. Refers to pigments mixed in proportions. In addition, when using the pigment which mixed 2 or more types of pigments, you may add and mix each pigment separately to a base coating material. Also, “substantially the same” means that when two or more kinds of pigments are added separately to the base paint, when the amount of pigment added is small, the proportion of the pigment is slightly different depending on the accuracy of the meter for measuring the pigment. This is because an error may occur. Therefore, “substantially the same pigment” includes, in addition to the above “same pigment”, a pigment prepared by mixing two or more types of pigments at substantially the same ratio.

  The combination of pigments is not particularly limited. You can color it to the color you want, but in order to create a color sample group of paints made by adding approximately the same pigment to the base paint, It is advisable to determine the addition amount and use the pigment to make a color sample by producing a paint by increasing or decreasing the addition amount of the pigment.

In particular, when a darkest color is determined, and the amount of pigment added is reduced from the paint to produce a plurality of paints, it is easy to produce a color sample.

  In general, paint performance tends to decrease as the amount of pigment added to the base paint increases. Various performances are required for paints depending on the object to be coated. For example, paints to be applied to buildings require performances for protecting the buildings. If the darkest color is determined within a range that satisfies the required performance, the paint with a smaller amount of pigment added than the paint satisfies the required performance in most cases. Therefore, if the darkest color is determined first, a color sample can be made with a paint that satisfies the performance required for the paint. When adding pigments to the base paint and coloring it, the vehicle is used to add resin components to the paint in order to prevent the amount of the added pigment from increasing and the performance of the paint film from deteriorating. May be added.

  In addition, in order to quickly and easily determine the color, the color sample card (A) has a plurality of color samples of a middle color between the darkest color and the lightest color (hereinafter referred to as “intermediate color”). It is preferable. Uniformly means, for example, that the intermediate color is not biased to the darkest color, the lightest color, or a color close to a specific color, and has a plurality of steps from a color close to the darkest color to a color close to the lightest color step by step. is there. When the base paint is a paint colored white, the lightest color may be set to a color close to the color of the base paint. If the lightest color is set in this way, the color can be quickly and easily determined even if the color desired by the customer is light.

  In order to obtain such a color sample card (A), a color sample may be produced by changing the amount of pigment added to the base paint stepwise from the darkest color to the lightest color.

When the base paint is a paint colored white, the brightness tends to increase as the amount of the pigment added increases, so the brightness may be used as a reference. Specifically, a color sample may be prepared by changing the lightness stepwise between the darkest color and the lightest color depending on the amount of pigment added.
The brightness is described based on numerical values in the Munsell color system. The same applies to the following description.

In the case where the brightness is changed stepwise depending on the amount of pigment added, in the color samples arranged in the order of the amount of pigment added, the brightness difference between adjacent color samples may be less than 0.50, and the average value of the brightness differences The average value of the brightness difference of the color sample from the darkest color to the lightest color is preferably less than 0.25. If the lightness difference due to the difference in the amount of pigment added is less than 0.50, the human eye does not feel such a large difference in color, so the color sample card in which the color samples of the intermediate colors are arranged uniformly and finely (A) Can be obtained. By using such a color sample card (A), the color can be determined quickly and easily. If the average value of the lightness difference is less than 0.25, the color difference perceived by human vision becomes smaller, and the color sample card (A) in which the color samples of intermediate colors are more evenly and finely arranged is obtained. Can do.
More preferably, the lightness difference is 0.02 or more. When the lightness difference is less than 0.02, the difference in color between adjacent color samples becomes so small that it is hardly felt by human vision. Little color swatches are needed. If a color sample having a lightness difference that is too small is added to the color sample card (A), the number of color samples presented by the color sample card (A) is too large, making it difficult to quickly and easily determine the color.

  The lightest color may have a lightness difference with the white base paint of less than 1.00 (preferably less than 0.5). If the lightest color is set in this way, the color can be quickly and easily determined even if the color desired by the customer is light. In particular, in buildings and the like, light colors are preferred, so the lightest color should be set to a color close to white. In particular, the lightness of the lightest color may be set in the range of 9.00 to 9.60.

  In the color sample group arranged on the color sample card (A), the number of color samples is preferably 5 to 60 (more preferably 10 to 40). If the number of color samples is small, the difference in the number of color samples from the color sample card (B) is too small, and the effect of the present invention that the color can be determined quickly and easily cannot be exhibited. For example, when there are too few color samples, the process of using the color sample card (B) for color presentation increases, and it may take time. When the number of color samples is too large, the difference in color between adjacent color samples is so small that it is hardly felt by human vision. If the number of color samples presented by the color sample card (A) is too large, it is difficult to quickly and easily determine colors.

  The color sample card (B) 21 shown in FIG. 1 selects a1, a3, a5, a7, a9, a11, a13, a15 as representative colors from the color samples arranged on the color sample card (A) 11. Are arranged.

  In the color sample card (B) 21, the representative color is selected by skipping one from the color samples arranged on the color sample card (A) 11, but the selection of the representative color is not limited to this. Two or more may be skipped and the representative color may be selected. In addition, a representative color can be selected by combining them. For example, a representative color may be selected by combining two skips and one skip, such as a1, a4, a7, a10, a13, and a15. Further, for example, adjacent color samples (in this case, a1 and a2) may be selected, such as a1, a2, a4, a6, a8, a10, a12, and a14.

Since the color sample card (B) is prepared for quick and easy color determination, the number of representative colors is one of the number of color samples arranged on the color sample card (A). / 2 or less, and preferably 2 or more (more preferably 3 or more). Furthermore, it is preferable that the representative color includes the darkest color. Further, it is more preferable that one and / or a plurality of skips are selected from the color samples arranged on the color sample card (A). By using such a color sample card (B) and a color sample card (A), the color can be determined quickly and easily.
If the number of color samples in the color sample card (A) is large, it is difficult to quickly and easily determine the color if the number of representative colors is too small. The number of color samples arranged in (A) is preferably 1/10 or more (preferably 1/7 or more).

  In addition, when the base paint is a white paint and the color difference between adjacent color samples in the color sample card (A) is less than 0.50, particularly when the average value of the brightness differences is less than 0.25, the color sample. The brightness difference between adjacent color samples in the card (B) may be set to 0.50 to 3.00 (more preferably 0.50 to 2.00). If the brightness difference is less than 0.50, it is difficult to feel the color difference. Therefore, the brightness difference is preferably set to 0.50 or more in the color sample card (B) for roughly selecting the color. On the other hand, if the brightness difference exceeds 3.00, the color difference becomes so large that it becomes difficult to find a color close to the desired color, and there is a possibility that the color cannot be determined quickly and easily.

  A plurality of sets of the color sample card (A) and the color sample card (B) described above are produced. Since the hue and color are limited only by substantially the same pigment, the more the number of sets of the color sample card (A) and the color sample card (B), the faster the color can be determined. it can.

  When a plurality of color sample cards (B) are produced in this way, they are combined to form a color sample card set (C). An example of the color sample card set (C) is shown in FIG.

  The color sample card set (C) 13 of FIG. 3 includes color sample cards (B) 12 corresponding to the color samples of the groups a, b, and c arranged in the color sample card (A) 11 of FIG. It is a bundle.

  In the color sample card (B) 21 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a binding hole 22 is formed. This is used to bind a plurality of color sample cards (B) when a plurality of color sample cards (B) are combined into a color sample card set (C).

  The color sample card set (C) is a combination of a plurality of color sample cards (B) and does not necessarily have to be bound or bundled. The binding method and the bundling method are arbitrary, and the binding hole 22 like the color sample card (B) 21 is not essential.

  The color presenting method is a method of determining a color by presenting a color using the color sample card (A) and the color sample card set (C). Instead of the color sample card (A), addition amount data (AD) indicating the amount of pigment added to the base paint of the color sample arranged on the color sample card (A) may be used. The addition amount data (AD) is not particularly limited as long as the data recording medium can confirm the data. For example, it may be written on paper or the like, or may be stored on an electronic recording medium or the like.

First, a method for presenting colors using the color sample card (A) and the color sample card set (C) will be described. In the following description, a person who presents a color is referred to as a “presenter”, and a person who selects a color is referred to as a “selector”.

  First, the presenter presents the color sample card set (C) to the selector, and the selector designates a color sample having a color close to the desired color from the color sample card set (C).

  Next, the presenter presents the color sample card (A) of the group to which the color sample specified by the selector belongs and / or the color sample card (A) of the group to which the approximate color of the specified color sample belongs to the selector. The selector determines a desired color from the presented color samples.

  At this time, all the color sample cards (A) of the group to which the color sample specified in the color sample card set (C) belongs and / or the color sample card (A) of the group to which the approximate color of the specified color sample belongs are presented. There is no need. It is also possible to present only a color sample with a pigment addition amount close to the color sample specified in the color sample card set (C) from among the color sample cards (A), which makes it possible to determine colors more quickly. .

  As described above, by first specifying colors roughly in the color sample card set (C), only necessary ones from the plurality of color sample cards (A) can be presented to the selector. The color can be determined without presenting all the color sample cards (A) to the selector. Therefore, the presenter can reduce the number of color samples to be presented to the selector, and the selector can quickly and easily determine the color.

  Further, the color sample card (A) is a color sample card (A) in which a color sample of a paint obtained by adding substantially the same pigment to the base paint is arranged in order of the amount of pigment added. However, even if there is no desired color, there is a secondary merit that the amount of pigment added to the desired color paint can be easily determined.

  For example, in the color sample card (A) 11 of FIG. 1, when the user desires a color between a2 and a3, the pigment to be used is already determined, and the pigment addition amount of a2 and a3 is also known. Therefore, the pigment may be added at an intermediate addition amount between a2 and a3, and the color desired by the user can be easily obtained.

  In addition, when the user desires an approximate color of a2 that is not included in the color sample card (A) 11, since the pigment used in a2 and the amount of pigment added are known, the pigment is one kind of pigment. If only a small amount of other pigments are combined, or if the pigment is a combination of two or more pigments at a specific ratio, change the ratio of the pigments a little or combine a small amount of other pigments. As a result, the color desired by the user can be easily obtained.

  Next, a method for presenting a color using the addition amount data (AD) and the color sample card set (C) will be described.

  First, the presenter presents the color sample card set (C) to the selector, and the selector designates a color sample having a color close to the desired color from the color sample card set (C).

  Next, the presenter uses the additive amount data (AD) of the group to which the color sample designated by the selector belongs and / or the additive amount data (AD) of the group to which the approximate color of the designated color sample belongs to the base paint. The paint is manufactured by adding the pigment, and a color sample of the approximate color sample specified by the user is created and presented to the user, and the user determines the desired color from the displayed color sample. .

  At this time, all the color sample cards (A) of the group to which the color sample specified in the color sample card set (C) belongs and / or the color sample card (A) of the group to which the approximate color of the specified color sample belongs are presented. There is no need. It is also possible to present only a color sample whose color addition amount is close to that of the color sample specified in the color sample card set (C), and that color can be determined more quickly.

  As described above, by first specifying colors roughly in the color sample card set (C), only necessary color samples are prepared from the color samples obtained from the additive amount data (AD) and presented to the selector. The color can be determined without presenting all the color samples obtained from the added amount data (AD) to the selector. Therefore, the presenter can reduce the number of color samples to be presented to the selector, and the selector can quickly and easily determine the color.

In addition, even if the color sample card (A) does not have the color desired by the user, there is a secondary merit that the amount of pigment added to the desired color paint can be easily determined. Further, since a color sample is produced by manufacturing a paint from the added amount data (AD), there is a secondary merit that the size and shape of the color sample used for determining the color can be arbitrarily determined.

Depending on the size and shape of the area where the color is applied, the color of the background, etc., the appearance of the color and the impression received from the color may change. Alternatives to this phenomenon include color area effects, contrast phenomena, and assimilation phenomena. Therefore, for example, when deciding the color of an object with a large area, such as the outer wall of a building, the impression that you can see with the large color sample and the impression you see from the painted outer wall are those that can be confirmed with a large color sample. Can be close. As described above, the size and shape of the color sample can be arbitrarily determined, so that it is possible to present a color sample having an impression close to that obtained by actually coating the object to be coated.

  Hereinafter, specific production examples of the color sample card (A), the addition amount data (AD), and the color sample card (B) are shown below. Other than these can be produced by the same procedure.

A white paint having the following composition was used as the base paint.
60 parts by mass of acrylic resin emulsion (non-volatile content 50% by mass), 18 parts by mass of white pigment (titanium oxide), 12 parts by mass of additives (film-forming aids, surfactants, antifoaming agents, antiseptic / antifungal agents), 10 parts by weight of water.

Further, the vehicle having the following composition was used.
60 parts by mass of an acrylic resin emulsion (non-volatile content: 50% by mass), 10 parts by mass of additives (film-forming aids, surfactants, antifoaming agents, antiseptic / antifungal agents).

Moreover, what combined 3 types of pigments with the following ratio was used as a pigment. Each pigment uses a dispersion liquid that is dispersed in advance in a solvent in consideration of miscibility with the paint, and the following ratios indicate the ratio of the dispersion liquid.
16 parts by mass of carbon black, 20 parts by mass of bengara, 64 parts by mass of ocher.

  First, the darkest color was determined in consideration of the weather resistance of the paint and other performances. Next, the amount of the pigment added was reduced from the darkest color, and a paint having the composition of X1 to X30 shown in Table 1 was produced.

  Table 1 also shows the amount of pigment added to the base paint (pigment / base paint), the brightness of the color swatch of the paint, and the brightness difference between adjacent color swatches. The lightness difference is the lightness difference from the color sample in the upper row.

  In the paint shown in Table 1, X1 is the darkest color, and as the color goes down, the amount of pigment added decreases and the brightness increases.

  The maximum value of the brightness difference was 0.40, and the average value of the brightness difference was 0.19. Further, the lightest color was 9.46, and the lightness difference between the lightest color and the base paint was 0.12.

  Table 1 shows the amount of pigment added to the base paint, and this can be used as addition amount data (AD).

  First, X1 to X30 paints were each applied to 2 cm × 5 cm paper to prepare 30 color samples. Next, the color sample cards (A) were prepared by adhering these color samples in a row on a 6 cm × 70 cm acrylic plate in order from X1.

  Next, X1, X5, X10, X15, X20, X25, and X30 are selected as representative colors of the color sample card (A), and these paints are applied to 2 cm × 5 cm paper, respectively. A color sample was prepared. Next, the color swatches (B) were prepared by pasting these color swatches in a line on a 6 cm × 20 cm sheet in order from X1.

  At this time, the maximum value of the brightness difference between adjacent color samples in the color sample card (B) was 1.13, and the minimum value was 0.73.

In the same procedure as above, 300 color sample cards (A), addition amount data (AD), and color sample cards (B) with different pigments were produced.
About 9000 color samples were used for 300 color sample cards (A), and about 2000 color samples were used for color sample cards (B).

These color sample cards (B) were bundled to produce a color sample card set (C). Since the number of color sample cards (B) is large, the hue of the darkest color of each group is measured so that the color can be selected more easily. Up to 10RPs were bundled in order of hue.
