The Colorcurve System is first and foremost a system for color communication. It provides a direct means of communication between spec (fiers or creators of color and the manufacturer of colored products. It is a combination of a visual and numerical system. The system is made up of four main elements: (1) Aim points in CIE L*a*h* color space; (2) Physical representation of the aim points; (3) Data tables and numerical descriptions of the aim points; and (4) Computational methods andlor computer software. A simple notation system that can be easily understood by both creative people and industrial technologists was developed. The numerical description of each aim point can aid manufacturers in getting acceptable color matches in a variety of materials because it fits in with the procedures used for computer color matching. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
