Abstract
Described herein is a computer-implemented method for matching and adjusting pigmentation of a target coating, the method including at least the steps of: retrieving from a formulation database which includes formulas for coating compositions with different pigmentations, one preliminary matching formula; providing a match metric; and by using one or more processors: calculating a match metric value for the preliminary matching formula; and deciding, based on a magnitude of the match metric value, whether the pigmentation is significantly improvable; in the case that the pigmentation is significantly improvable: defining a selection of at least one additional tinting base which might be eligible for further adjusting the preliminary matching formula to the target coating; calculating, for each of the at least one additional tinting base, a match metric value; and issuing, via an output device, a list of eligible additional tinting bases of the at least one additional tinting base.
