Abstract
A stylus, in accordance with one embodiment, includes an elongated body having an input mechanism for receiving user selection of a color to be output upon interaction of the stylus with a computing device. The stylus also includes a nib functional as a transmitting unit to publish the selected color to a receiver of the computing device when the nib is in contact and/or near contact with the receiver. A computer-implemented method for synchronizing a stylus having color selection to a computing device, in accordance with one embodiment, includes outputting a request to a user to select a color on the stylus and touch the stylus to a receiver of the computing device. Touch of the stylus to the receiver of the computing device is detected. A capacitance of the stylus is calculated. The capacitance of the stylus is stored in association with the color.
