The idea
Sense, see, scan colours.
Goldwell has a product line that lets hair stylists mix colours the way a painter mixes paint. The sensor lets clients bring their own colour, scan it, and build a palette from it. The app turns RGB into values a stylist can actually use.
The prototype was built with an Arduino and a colour sensor. Each colour is scanned and sent to a Processing sketch to store and display.
It worked well enough to be adapted for other uses.
