Remote Color Matching Process and System

Disclosed is a method and system for cost effective, convenient remote color reproduction and matching that can be used by product vendors and consumers. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises capture of product color spectra using a spectrometer under controlled illumination, the calculation of optimum coloring mixing levels for a multi-primary display using primaries optimized to reduce observer metamerism, and the use of these mixing levels in a remote display exhibiting the optimized primaries in order to render the original product color in high fidelity. Other embodiments of the method and system include measurement of the consumer's CMF, filtering of the product color spectrum with these CMFs, and display of the color resulting from these tristimulus values on a remote RGB display. Various alternatives are disclosed for components of the system.
