Master Painter Andy Hansen Put ColorReader to the Test – Here’s What He Found

Andy was so impressed with the ColorReader, that he not only published his own blog post about it, but also created demonstration videos on its use, available on YouTube and TikTok.

Initial Skepticism-Gone!

“Despite some initial skepticism on my part, this digital color measurement tool has made a believer out of me,” says Andy. “Not only does the device deliver accurate & fast results, but the customers are thrilled not having to flip through endless color charts.Datacolor’s ColorReader is a great tool that fits into our digital age.”

Andy put the ColorReader to the test by scanning the colors he had painted in his own apartment. This way he would know exactly whether the scanned results matched the colors he used.

He was impressed by the color accuracy of ColorReader, which displays the exact color values of the measured color as well as the top 3 paint color matches from various manufacturers. The fact that it is so quick and easy to use is also a big plus for Andy. He loves that he can refine his color match search to his preferred paint manufacturers, allowing him to simplify the color selection process even more.

Now ColorReader is Always On The Job

Andy takes his ColorReader with him all the time now. The device has become more than just a simple tool for determining colors. He likes to use the ColorReader when working with customers, since through the ColorReader app, he can save and organize colors at the customer’s site by project, keeping this information right on hand in his smartphone.

The app’s coordinating color suggestions make an ideal starting point for creating a whole room or full home color palette, whether the customer prefers the contrasting colors of a complementary palette or the harmonious hues of a monochromatic one.

Master-Tipp:

Andy advises his customers to use the ColorReader to find furniture and accessories that perfectly coordinate with the color of their freshly painted rooms. This lets them take advantage of shopping excursions since they’ll have room colors right at their fingertips for easy color coordinating/matching when they come across an item that catches their eye. They can also scan color inspiration wherever they find it for later use.

ColorConsulting Old School vs. New School

In his YouTube video Andy introduces the ColorReader and ColorReader EZ, and showcases his acting talent along with his girlfriend’s by demonstrating what a color consultation could look like both with and without the use of digital aids like the ColorReader.
