Abstract
A color measurement instrument is used as a shade card generator and printer. Spectral geometries of D/8, D/0, 45/0, 0/45, D(hemisphere)/8, D(hemisphere)/0 or others are applied. The light spectrum of the illumination source (2) lies in the range of 350 - 1100 nm. An integrating sphere (3) is used in the case of D/8 geometry. A detector (7.5) and an optical assembly (7.2, 7.3, 7.4) using a variable sample aperture are between the light source (2) and the sample.

The user can introduce his own source of light also.
Background:
Shade Card Making done conventionally is a required in all color related industries.
Conventional shade cards are being made by a process that is intensive in following aspects:
1. Material.
2. Labor
3. Matching Skill of Colorists.
4. Requires to spending money.
5. Requires lots of Space for storage of Colorants/Lacquers / card etc.
The Shade card making process is required to be repeated time and again, as the shade cards are distributed and finished.
Conventional Shade Cards are subject to:
1. Soiling
2. Fading.
3. Degradation of color.
4. Handling etc.
No shade card conventional is a three-dimensional shade card.
Prior Art:
The information that is required to create the Shade card is available. However, nobody has thought of exploiting the technology for the unique application of creation of shade card. So, the process being patented here is a unique process for the creation, distribution and circulation of shade cards that all the Color Industries require.

Spectra Geometry: This can be D/8, D/0, 45/0, 0/45, D(hemisphere)/8, D(hemisphere)/O Invention patent applies to all the above geometries.
Algorithm/ Equations:
The color to be added to the three dimensional shade cards is measured by spectrophotometer for % Reflectance values. The Tristimulus values calculations for CIE 1964 10° observer for the primary llluminant D 65 are done as under,
The Reflectance of the color to be added to the shade card is converted in to tristimulus values employing D65 llluminant and Standard Observer of CIE 1964.
We employ the D65 CIE tables from the technical Bulletin of CIE for Energy Distribution of D65 llluminant. The CIE D65 table are 5 nm based. We do a Lagrange interpolation and calculate the data at 1 nm, from 5 nm, and store in the tables, for 1 nm interval.
The xbar, ybar, zbar table for 10° observer 1964 are taken from Wyszecki Stiles book at 1 nm interval.
We then use sRGB color space for X Y 2 to R G B conversion. This is done using the XYZ to RGB conversion by ICC color profiles for sRGB. The R G B calculated is scaled to 255.
R= R unitary X 255 G= G unitary X 255 B= B unitary X 255
The above R G B we employ for creation of three-dimensional shade card, in addition of two dimensional shade cards.
Note: the X Y Z to R G B can be done as per various. RGB Color Spaces like:

The gamma value for each RGB COLOR space is given below, The llluminant column gives with respect to which llluminant the specific Color Space does the X Y Z Tristimulus calculations, for further calculations in to R G B.

Transforming the X Y Z from one llluminant to another llluminant.
X destination Y destination Z destination
D65
X Source Y Source Z Source.
X White destination Y White destination Z White destination
D75 X White Source Y White Source Z White Source.
The above is done employing Bradford's Chromatic adaptation Transform algorithm, and employing the R G B cone responses of source illuminant and destination illuminant.
So you get a value each for
P Source γ source this is cone response domain for the source illuminant. β Source
So you get a value each for
P Destination γ Destination this is cone response domain for the destination illuminant. β Destination
Now we do
P Destination / P Source 7 Destination / Y Source P Destination / P Source
Thus by making the measurement in D65/10 degree, we can do the Chromatic Adaptation transform to any other Illuminant /Source.
This chromatic adaptation Transformed values of X Y Z of the destination are then used to calculate the R G B values as Chromatic Adaptation transformed R G B.
This enables us to depict the three-dimensional shade card in any user switched on illuminant.
Rendering algorithm on three dimensional objects of the user's choice:
User is given a choice for the three-dimensional objects of his choice on which the color is to be rendered on.
Like:
1. Interior of an apartment.
2. Chair for upholstery
3. Sofa.
4. Apparel.
5. Plastic Chair.
6. Ceramic Tiles.
7. As Printed Matter for Graphic arts.
8. Building Exterior.
9. Business Machine.
10. Telephones.
11. Curtains/Drapes.
12. Leather Purse, Valet.
13. Car.
14. Motorbike.
15. Any user desired object and so on
Note: The X Y Z to R G B conversion can be done under the following RGB Color Spaces. A library of such object is made as BMP, JPG files. The above objects in the library are converted in to gray images and the library is kept as library of gray images, of the type three-dimensional type. So we have a large library of three dimensional BMP, or JPG images that are gray.
Rendering algorithm:
Once the object is selected say Chair for upholstery. The programme scans the gray image for the individual pixels of the gray image
The gray image consists of pixels where R=G=B, or R and G and B are equal at various levels from O to 255.
For example, the scan may find 80% population of pixels where R=123 G=123 and B=123
10% population where R= 75 G=75 and B= 75, and so on.
So, we have to find out which group of pixels with the same R G B is in majority.
We assign the R G B of the color to be rendered to this group of pixels, which are in the majority in the three dimensional object.
Now, the gray group with R G B higher will get R+(difference in R), G +(Difference in G), and B +(Difference in B) to give a lighter color to the group.
Now, the gray group with R G B lower will get R-(difference in R), G -(Difference in G), and B -(Difference in B) to give a darker color to the group.
Any group of pixels R and G and B > 255 R and G and B =255. Also, any group of pixels R and G and B < 0 R and G and B = 0
Thus the whole three dimensional object will be at various pixels shades darker and lighter of the same color to produce the dimensional color render of the R G B to be rendered.
Any suitable render algorithm, other than the above may be used for the purpose of creating shade cards.
Shade Card now has:
1. Color Shade names,
2. R G B of each color shade.
3. Various gray objects of the three dimensional type to render.
4. Various shapes, brush marks etc. for two-dimensional flat depiction of the color also.
5. Square, Rectangle, Pentagon, Hexagon, Triangle, Brush mark, Alphabet, Circle, Ellipse, Oval,
% Reflectance of each Shade in case required for matching etc.
On a high fidelity photographic printer the three-dimensional shade card can also be printed with true color reproduction.
The three dimensional shade cards on the choice of user's own objects can be thus made. Each color shade is shown as a three-dimensional color rendered on the object of user's choice of the size as desired by the user.
Utility value:
The process being patented here is as under for the user.
Just by measuring by spectrophotometer, all the color shades to be included in the shade card can be incorporated in the Electronic Shade Card.
Using a high fidelity printer, the shade cards can be printed.
Further, the shade cards can be made as three dimensional shade cards on the object of the user's choice.
The algorithm explained in various lighting conditions/sources can view the shade cards. A users' own light source can also be used.
Measure by spectra and by patented process make it into shade card.
Shade card can be flat two dimensional, in various shapes like square, rectangle, brush mark, alphabet, circle, oval, triangle, hexagon, polygon etc.
Shade card is free from soiling and handling effect, does not age and fade.
Shade card can be three dimensional on the object of users choice.
Shade card can be viewed in all possible lighting conditions, illuminants.
Shade card can be used to paint the interior of a flat, building etc.
Shade card in textiles can be used to make apparel design.
Shade card can be sent across on CD, or emaiied.
