Color and Texture of White Apple Product

Color and Texture of White Apple Product

Hi,

Anybody knows what the colour code and texture code of the white Apple Products.

Thanks.

RE: Color and Texture of White Apple Product

Nope....
Apple not revealing commercially sensitive info? No surprise there then!

Next question?

Why would you need to know other than to make more convincing looking counterfeit products?

Maybe he just likes that color/texture and wants something similar for his own products.. I do it ALL the time.

I want something like this

Or even "exactly like this please"!
A trivial exercise with a colour meter. or a good colourist.

It's not really that simple.

Most colour metres will not match under all lights. You need a full on spectrophotometer for that.

Also texture can have a significant effect. For example, the froth on the top of your beer is the same colour as the beer. It's the texture that's different.

RE: Color and Texture of White Apple Product

Pat, I know, but most colour labs know about metamerism (see! even me!!). You are correct though about finish as it may/will cause an apparent colour shift.

If like me, you have an eye lens replaced due a cataract, forget colour assessment. Plastic replacement lenses are water clear, unlike the natural lens which is browny-yellow. New lens makes all whites very bright and colours saturated - it's almost Technicolour!!

Hi guys,

Thank you for replies. As Pat mentioned, I am not looking for exact colour and texture of the Apple products. I am looking for a good approximation. My moulder did a relatively good and I got some decent imitation. I thought maybe I can improve on that.

RE: Color and Texture of White Apple Product

Harry.

I ran a colour lab for about 7 years so I have a bit of history on the abstract concept of colour and people trying to attribute concrete values to it. My eyes probably ain't what they used to be either.
