Abstract
Methods and software applications for transmitting high-resolution spectral curve data to a tinter for generating a tint formula usable to custom-tint a base paint or coating to match the color of a sensed surface. The high-resolution spectral curve data is derived from low-resolution or wideband spectral data obtained via a low resolution or wideband spectrophotometer. Additional user information, order information, or location information may be transmitted to the tinter.
