New digital colour identification tool for commercial vehicles

PPG has launched its new ‘ColorReader’ digital colour identification tool for commercial vehicle customers through its Nexa Autocolor brand.

ColorReader is a portable, bluetooth enabled device which PPG says can precisely match a full range of CVM and international standard colours in just a few seconds.

Place the ColorReader on the painted surface and check the results in the ColorReader App, available for both tablets and smartphones on iOS and Android.

For very quick results, PPG says use the tool’s stand-alone mode. The OLED display will show the top three colour numbers of the closest matches within the Turbo Vision Colour Library.

Jo Thompson, PPG colour marketing manager, automotive refinish, EMEA says: “With the launch of ColorReader, we’re bringing speed and accuracy to our customers in the commercial vehicle sector.”
