eWarna unveils Colour Cross-Referencing Tool

Just-Style.com, Mar 2005

eWarna has released a new add-on module to its online colour management system LabWorks Pro to improve colour cross-referencing by apparel companies.

Color Indexer enables users to cross reference colour palettes from different standards companies, as well as helping to reduce human errors and improve productivity.

“It takes an operator at least one minute to locate a best match for a colour from a database of 4,000 colours and transcribe that result on a spreadsheet,” says Faizal Hussein, director of product development at eWarna.

“This translates to up to 20 working days for three full-time personnel working round the clock on three shifts to cross reference 2,000 colours against 4,000 searchable colours under 10 different illuminants.”

He adds that with Color Indexer, “the entire exercise can be automated and completed in a few hours, freeing staff to perform higher value tasks.”

Color Indexer combines Internet-based colour management functionalities with industry-standard colour systems.

Users may input any colour sets as targets and search for the best match from a selected database under chosen illuminants, observers and algorithms.
