Color Picker is an innovative design of a concept pen that can scan colors from anything around and instantly use the color for drawing. After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the scan button. The color is being detected by the color sensor and the RGB cartridge of the pen mixes the required inks to create the target color. This superb device will help people to observe the changing colors of nature. With color picker, all range of artists will be able to cerate a more sensorial and visual insight of their surrounding nature’s colors.

That is simply brilliant! Would love to buy that.
This is the opposite of brilliant. It isn't even sufficiently adequate to be called a prototype design. I showed this to some 7th graders and they pointed out this wouldn't work. RGB is additive (light). CMYK is subtractive color (ink). This design won't work.
so would i
very fantastic idea
How can I get one of the color picker?
its on amazon
HOW BEAUTIFUL IDEA….
this would be awesome if had those in school!!!
When it will be available in the market?
send me web site or shopping sale?
simply superb, pls give me contacts for trade enquiry.
Unfortunately color picker is only a concept at the moment
this is a great product i would very much love to buy it and sell it on my website
just curious how much would it be in pounds?
HAHAHAHA RGB Ink, good joke , they don't know about mixing colors in the "traditional media", but is a god concept if the processor "translate" RGB to primary ot CMYK colors :-))) (Sorry for my poor English)
You have a couple of problems with your idea. First, you cant print onto paper with RGB. That technology does not exist nor will it for at least 20 years. You would need to use CMYK pigments to accomplish your task. It could be done with small cartridges, but they would run out fast, much like early inkjet printers. The rest is do-able today.
You would also need room for a battery.
okay well how you wanna seem so smart an be an asshole its only a concept its an idea that she has in mind for the future the time the technology comes it will be possible!. gosh people erk me.
Mixing Red ink with Blue ink and Green ink will not get you white ink. The foundations of this concept are grossly inadequate. Inversely, having a color accurate calibrated camera on a device like a CINTIQ might have some value.
People like YOU "irk" me. He is making a valid point that is merely constructive criticism that would improve the product and perhaps push it towards a design that might actually come to fruition. The flaws he points out are quite major ones that would keep the design from ever reaching a physical state. Nothing about his comment was geared towards "being an asshole". You are the one being an asshole. Learn to share and provide ideas.
You can get a fantastic charge holding batter that is the same size as a regular ink pen refill now adays.
where can i buy this pen, this is sooooooo cool~~~~
Jam
I like this technology, if i want to buy this product please forward me details which is important.
where can i buy this pen, this is sooooooo cool
cool concept, but my first thought is: any partially capable artist would be able to mix their own colors anyways, so they wouldn't even need this. Plus, what if (rather when) the color isn't exactly right so it needs to be adjusted, how would that be accomplished? also, i'd think you'd want an adjustment for how wide the sample area is depending on what you're trying to copy (i.e. a very small item or an item that has a lot of variation in color).
hope it works!
This could'n even be real!, the color are RGB and when you paint all colors are CMYK its impossible, it will be better use one of that in to a wacom just imagine!
and in a wacom i guess it to simple invent, and more efective, and REAL.
🙂
#Gaby i think the same, RGB its light color for digital support, CMYK its the real composition color for paint…
good ideal bad knowledges
Great idea ,Will start using in couple of months
Well… translating a color from RGB to CMYK is not hard, you could even hardwire a chip to do the work. Mixing them in such a small amount on the other hand is hard. It would have a limitation of the minimal amount of the mix.
For a v2.0 I suggest the following:
1.: A picker such as the one above. Its sole responsibilities are scanning and storing the colors.
2.: A docking unit with an LCD/OLED/e-paper display. If you dock the picker, it will download the colors. You can select the one you want to use and maybe adjust it a bit. Then it would fill an empty fountain-pen cartridge with the desired color.
OK, this version isn't so cool, but it's realizable…
Hi everyone.
This is basically Kimiko Ryokai's I/O Brush, done at the MIT Media Lab 5 years ago. It would be nice to give them some credit.
http://web.media.mit.edu/~kimiko/iobrush/
this is inaccurate, the ink cartridges would have to be Cyan Yellow and Magenta. Pen ink is reflected color, not emitted.
an excellent product for a new gwneration love to get one for my kid asap give me the deails
Good Idea, Good Concept, Stupid Knowledge about Color Theory, no offense but it was true.
Printing with RGB color system?
You must edit the color system to CMYK.
And where should I place the battery for power supply so the scanner and color display, or maybe unit to produce color that has been scanned?
Still prefer Photoshop or Color Pencil/Color Media to do this job.
Great work and Innovation.Its just like concept cars, never will work well in market.
Concept cars go for 2 million easy when sold on open market….
Your argument is invalid.
Please send me your contact details for trade enquiry.
I want to buy and also start this product to get sell in my mall.
Obviously most of the people above don't understand what a "concept design" is.
obouiously this is a fantastic ideir aside from the micro mixing issues. my version
instead of having rgb ink which wouldn't work have special reactive ink which could be pumped into a resiwior using a quartz crystal. activated by sending diffrent wavelenths of uv lichgt and used but then when a new colour is selected purge the resivwoir by fully expanding the crystal and start again
(sory for the english)
How much does it cost?
Where can I order one?
Hi All, Yes the concept is fantastic.. But I agree with all of you those who mentioned abt the RGB/CMYK concept. If you are to make this work, you should use CMYK.
Again… a very good concept and think this is something achievable…
Good Luck!!!
this it, very nice.
i can buy this and how
yea RGB wouldn't work, since making colors with RGB only works when you're talking about light because it's additive.
CMYK would work though.
DO IT!
I am from Sri Lanka. Would love to buy a Color Picker. Please advice price and as to how I could buy one.
Thanks
You cannot use RGB color mode in subtractive systems just as ink. Ink is subtractive so you need CMYK. Light is additive ( like computer monitors ) so for light based colors you need RGB.
RGB? Really? Try CMYK
love it can u send me how can i buy it !
thanks
Please contact me when the technology is implementable and the colors precision got near 100%.
Nice idea though.
yeah! nice pen.
I am from India. Would love to buy a Color Picker. Please advice price and as to how I could buy one.

awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee yaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr
its a great idea….it would be more superb if it can contain more number of color inks
how beautiful it is would you please advice price and as to how i could buy one
Great Innovation! I understand this is concept design. Please inform us when this product will come in market and what will be its price?
wow…. its good but how can i buy this ….
Dude. That is amazing. You know what you should do? Contact Copic about getting it developed. http://copicmarker.com/ Seriously, they have the nicest markers in the world, the ink works gorgeously, they could probably take this further than any other company.
Also, it would be cool if you could save several different color settings to the pen.
