Color Picker Pen

pen

By Evan Ackerman

What do you do when someone asks you what your favorite color is? Tell them something like “blue?” Bah. That’s an unacceptably imprecise answer. Ideally, you should specify the wavelength, but failing that, you can just use this color picker pen to replicate any color. Place the end of the pen against an object or surface to read the color, and the pen will automatically combine red, green, and blue ink to give you exactly the color you want.

The color picker pen is currently just a concept.

    No idea what it would be useful for, but I like the concept of eyedropper tool goes IRL.
  • gnarfi
    its tecnically wrong
    it has to combine cmy or cmyk you cannot mix rgb colors without getting darker and darker
  • I like the Idea, but would be usefull in real life? Anyways, it would be a nice gadget to have around.

    totally cool, but what if you wanted to draw in white?
  • Great idea!! I'm curious how similar are colours from pen and natural. This gadget is for designers.
