I'm not a color expert, but I know what I want to do but haven't found the right app or apps - at least I don't think I have; here's what I want to do.
I'd like to be able to take a pic of something, like paint in the can, and have the app identify the pantone or cmyk values.
Then I'd like the app to compare that value to one that I input, and tell me what I need to add to the color to match the input color.
Here's how I want to use it: I've decided to plasti dip my car and I want to do it in Ford Blue (Pantone 294c) with dual white stripes down the middle of the car.
Plasti Dip does makes a blue of course but it's not really close to 294c so I will have to modify the blue they have to match. But I would like to do it more accurately than just by eye looking at my small screen.
Suggestions?
