X-Rite Incorporated, a provider of color science and technology, and its subsidiary Pantone LLC, has announced the newest version of its industry leading retail paint color matching software, ColorDesigner PLUS version 3.0. Paint departments in large retail brands and independent paint and hardware retailers use ColorDesigner PLUS in conjunction with an X-Rite MatchRite iVue non-contact spectrophotometer or an X-Rite Ci61 handheld instrument to make paint selection and mixing simple, fast, and accurate. The latest updates to ColorDesigner PLUS 3.0 provide improved Color Lookup, support for all color dispensing systems and automatic system updates.
“The faster and more accurately a paint department can match a customer’s sample, the more likely it is that the customer will return to the store in the future,” said Chris Winczewski, Vice President of Product Marketing, X-Rite Pantone. “Designed to streamline the process of matching and dispensing paint at the retail counter, ColorDesigner PLUS 3.0 allows paint department associates to spend more time helping customers to ensure that final paint colors match expectations. The software’s latest features help transform a paint counter into a design center and build customer loyalty.”
