“At the European Coatings Show, we are excited to show our complete line up of solutions,” said Chris Winczewski, Vice President of Product Marketing, X-Rite. “Attendees visiting the X-Rite booth can hone in on their particular area of interest, from Design and Specification to Production and Quality Control to Retail, to find innovative solutions that will help them improve repeatability and consistency of their paint and coatings color.”New at the Show
At the show, X-Rite will be previewing Color-Eye®, a new solution that helps consumers shop for products whose color accurately matches the color of items they have at home. Shoppers can use their smartphone with a color calibration card to measure the color of any item they want to match. The color readings sync with a retailer’s mobile shopping application to show the consumer a set of matching or coordinating products.
“Imagine being able to accurately match a paint color to your favorite pillow or accent piece, simply by capturing the color on your mobile device,” continued Winczewski. “Color-Eye will help retailers and manufacturers enhance their mobile shopping applications by placing a greater emphasis on color and accuracy. Retailers can allow customers to search, match, and purchase goods with a high degree of confidence.”
Color-Eye gives retailers and paint manufacturers the opportunity to build consumer trust by enabling greater confidence in color-critical purchases, both online and in-store. This increases consumer loyalty, reduces returns, and drives purchases of paint and beyond
