A new way to measure colorThe Glidden Professional QuickMatch Pro™ color matching tool is a revolutionary handheld color measurement tool that accurately reads color on a wide range of surfaces and textured materials to produce a precise match. Matches are derived from the 2,016 colors from the Glidden Professional™ brand Master Palette® fan deck. The QuickMatch Pro device is lightweight and easy to use. This unique tool enables colors to be quickly and accu-rately identified on walls, carpets, furniture, flooring, clothing, plus a variety of other inspiration objects.

QuickMatch Pro™

Preview The preview function allows users to view samples before measurement. The device includes a zoom-in and zoom-out feature to manually select specific areas, and will automatically identify up to 4 dominant shades from detailed and multicolored samples.

MeasureEquipped with revolutionary color mea-surement technology, the QuickMatch Pro color matching tool captures the image of your sample using multiple light sources to ensure color accuracy. With an au-tomated multicolor picking option, the device will isolate up to 4 colors within a multi-colored pattern. All colors are accurately matched and taken from our Glidden Professional brand Master Palette fan deck.

CoordinateAfter picking the color that best matches your sample, the QuickMatch Pro color matching tool provides color recommenda-tions to assist you in finding coordinating colors and color schemes. This is ideal when looking for that extra bit of inspiration. You can also find a similar color within that color family and adjust the yellow, blue, or green hues that accompany the color match.

Color DetailOnce you have decided on a color for your project, all of the information you will need for the color specification is at your finger-tips. Each match includes color name, color notation, and location within the Glidden Professional brand Master Palette fan deck.

Each color match can be saved and marked with text and/or a voice tag. All stored colors can be uploaded into several different software programs. These pro-grams include: Auto CAD, PhotoShop®, Re-vit®, 3DSMax®, Sketchup and ArchiCAD.

FeaturesThe QuickMatch Pro color matching tool is simple to use and gives a fast and precise color match in 5 easy steps:

Revolutionary Color Measurement TechnologyThe QuickMatch Pro color matching tool is equipped with technology that uses independent illuminations from three different directions. This new technology accurately measures textured surfaces because it detects and compensates for shadows and gloss spots that are characteristic for 3D surfaces. And because it can pick out a single color from a multi-colored im-age, the QuickMatch Pro color matching tool is ideal for measuring the colors of threads in open-weave fabrics, essentially ignoring the impact of the background color.

Benefits of the QuickMatch Pro™ color matching toolFor professionals who deal with color selection on a daily basis, the QuickMatch Pro color matching tool provides a way to reduce the time it takes to select colors with their clients and to give them a strong confidence level in their color selection.

For Painting ContractorsThe QuickMatch Pro color matching tool helps paint-ing contractors to grow their business by enhancing the services they offer to their customers as well as giving

their customers greater confidence in the color selec-tion process. Instead of spending time comparing which color is the correct match using paper based tools, professional painters can take a measurement of a color with the QuickMatch Pro color matching tool and imme-diately give their customer a reliable match as well as a selection of harmonized colors.

For Property ManagersThe QuickMatch Pro color matching tool takes away the hassle of matching existing colors on walls or building exteriors. Property managers can save time by tak-ing color measurements on site, rather than bringing samples, such as flakes, from areas within the building to their paint shops for measurement. With the option of text or voice tags, property managers can easily store and label multiple colors for each property they manage.

For Architects and DesignersThe QuickMatch Pro color matching tool removes complexity for Architects and Designers. This makes it easy to coordinate the multitude of materials that make up any design scheme by eliminating the variability introduced by lighting conditions, patterns, texture and sheen. Architects and Designers can also collect and save color inspiration from any object, whether at a show or in a store.
