Enjoy my little tool:

What the ABS!?
http://lab.cubiq.org/wta/

you give to it any image URL and it returns the ABS color code

or try with something more suggestive like
assets.worldwildlife.org/photos/2265/images/story_full_width/Green-Turtle_08.23.2012_Help.jpg



enjoy (and don't abuse it )

Cute!
(Better if SP publish the Lab values of their abs colors...)

Nice work!

indeed. I don't know if they are standard color codes or SP used an internal naming. worth exploring.

anyway consider that the color comparison is not done with a linear equation but that's the color your eyes see.

They just have to take a cap or that sample and measure it with a spectrocolorimeter

?

the algorithm is weighted with what human eye sees (ie: green has more relevance than red, red has more relevance than blue)

updated.

now it also returns the color interpreted from the image together with the 3 closest ABS colors.

I'm thinking that we should link these tools directly from the wiki — maybe Other Topics → Tools on the main page, for your two, plus ne0phyte's layout generator when it's finished. Any objections? Any suggestions for a better categorisation, before I do this? Anything else that I should add when I do this?

no objections by my side. I'd like to release these tools on github. I'll do that once the DSA Retro GB will be over

[wiki]Utilities[/wiki]

Created. Layout not optimal, but it's nice to have these tools made accessible.
