Color Picker by Jinsun Park

Technology
It’s an amazing tool and really helps those who find themselves surrounded by a broad spectrum of tones and hues but want to then transfer them into their own work. This is a dream piece of technology for anyone who finds themselves inspired by the world around them. All you do is scan, give it a moment, and you’re off. There’s little to express how close to a sci-fi tech idea this gets, and it could feasibly work.
There’s no rocket-ships or aliens here, however, and whether you’re colour sampling a rose petal or the dark tones of the latest o2 Business Phones, you’ll be able to incorporate this new palette into anything you’re currently working on. If you’d like to contribute to the discussion, please comment below – we like seeing people’s thoughts on the color picker, and hope you all love the idea.
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. Withcolor picker, all range of artists will be able to cerate a more sensorial and visual insight of their surrounding nature’s colors.

Good luck using an RGB ink cartridge–generally, translucent pigments like ink use CYMK, which would probably be more appropriate.

I am SICK of stumbling upon this! It wouldn’t work, RGB works with lights (such as with monitors) but it does not work with ink!!!!
It’s about time people stop putting this on stumble upon (and reposting it on random blogs).
It’s a nice idea but is really really old now and would not work anyway, please people, stop reposting this!

I wonder what it would do if I scanned a yellow surface… With those cardridges in.
December 19th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
mmmmm an asiannnnn.

Cool idea but it does seem a little bit pointless after the initial novelty of being able to scan stuff and draw in that colour. Also, I am wondering if it can somehow clean itself afterwards so that the colours don’t get mixed as it comes out the end?

NOT this again! omg, it totally won’t work! first of all, pigments need CMYK. RBG is only good for light. second, it’s sooooo impractical. Who the hell is gonna go, “oh, i wanna color in the ocean, i better go scan the ocean!” You could just scan a piece of blue paper, but why would you need that pen anyway, just buy regular blue ink markers….

Pop a red yellow and a blue cartridge in there instead and I’m sure you can get it to work.

how bout keeping rgb but adding a small memory unit and letting it be used for tablet drawing? Could be produced pretty cheaply, could be a nice novelty tool
December 25th, 2009 at 5:20 am
omg or like we could make like a whole variety of pens, each with a different color, and we could call them markers!!!!!

A few of you have piqued my interest in RGB printers. I have an old HP printer that has only one (1) color cartridge, RGB, and it prints all the colors quite well, including Black.
I know that those are the only colors in the cartridges because when they are no longer usable in the printer, I simply pop off the top and use them as an ink well for my script pens and brushes. I use a plastic cup lid as a palate, mix my colors and they work as well on paper or canvas as when used in the printer.

PS: I am painting with ink not light and yellow has never been a problem.

@Dana: so, how do you mix yellow then?
December 31st, 2009 at 6:10 pm
What’s wrong with paint?
January 1st, 2010 at 6:47 pm
Yellow = red plus green?

hahah, I found a paint can that had a color selector and they used CMYK, and now a pen that uses RBG. Come on people.

Cheers for this unique insightful post. Often times, the best information originate from the articles you would not expect. Lately, I failed to give a whole lot of thought to placing comments on weblog posts and have left comments even less. Reading your great post, may very well inspire me to take action sometimes.

Cool, except when you pick a new color, what happens to the ink in the ballpoint tip left over from the previous color?
February 21st, 2011 at 10:40 pm
I agree with everyone, this is useless, and wouldn’t work due to the RGB inks. It’s nice to see people using common sense, and realizing that you need CMYK. I would like to say though, that with a small tweak, I’d love it. Imagine a color picker pen for Photoshop, Illustrator, ect. Say I have an object sitting in front of me, and I want to use that object’s color in an image. If I could scan that object, and Photoshop would set that color as the foreground color, I’d love it. It would save me the time of having to look up an image of the object, and hope that it has the same color, and then use the color picker on that image. Anyways, just my thoughts.
