Color Picker, the multi-marker

Color Picker is a marker capable of painting the same color as a sample object

Color Picker is one of those ideas in the digital world, in the form of impossible concept is taken to the Real World ™. It's essentially Color Picker that is capable of recognizing the color of any nearby object and then be able to color with that exact color on paper.


The idea is not new at all. Almost all digital editing programs have a similar tool (without leaving the screen clear) and some brands such as Philips have developed prototypes of lamps can change the color of light that illuminate copying the color of an object shows ... And it works!

Color Picker took the Red Dot design award in education. Its operation is based on a scanner capable of defining the color of the original object that transmits information to a chip that controls the mixing ink cartridges from three (RGB) to get accurate color. A beautiful idea as impossible, unless it is a marker of the size of a carrot.
