Abstract
Described herein is a computer-implemented method and a system for providing a match metric for quantifying a spectral similarity of a target coating and at least one sample coating, the system including a computing device that performs a computing process, the computing process including: receiving reflectance values of the target coating and the sample coating; normalizing each of the reflectance values; generating a normalized reflectance curve for the target coating and for the sample coating; producing derivative values of the normalized reflectance curve of the target coating and derivative values of the normalized reflectance curve of the sample coating with respect to the wavelength; producing difference values between the derivative values of the target coating and the derivative values of the sample coating; and producing a match metric for a similarity between the normalized reflectance curves of the target coating and the sample coating.
