Color Consulting Has Never Been So Easy!!!

What happens here

To demonstrate real-world application, the presenter scans a gray painted drywall wall with knockdown texture. He carefully places the Nix Mini 2 sensor flat against the wall, ensuring the flattest surface possible for optimal accuracy, and presses 'Scan'. The app identifies 'Cathedral Gray' from Behr as the closest match, along with other close matches from Kelly-Moore and Miller Paint ('Tin Man'). This shows the device's capability to accurately identify paint colors directly from a finished surface, proving valuable for homeowners or painters needing to match an existing color without knowing the original paint code.

Goal: The presenter demonstrates scanning a real-world painted wall, showcasing the device's ability to match existing wall colors even with texture.
