The PPG MeasureColor Mobile combines cloud technology with a handheld, Bluetooth-enabled scanning device to read a color, interpret data and quickly send the closest PPG color match to the app on the user's tablet or smartphone. The user then has immediate access to thousands of color's in PPG's industrial powder and liquid coatings libraries, the company says. This tool helps eliminate the need for a custom color match, and provides ordering information such as the brand code, color name and gloss range. In the case of powders, resin chemistry is provided and the tool advises users if the selected color is a stock or make-to-order color. All search results are displayed in a clear, easy-to-read format and stored for sharing or archival purposes.
