Color Consulting Has Never Been So Easy!!!

What happens here

With the Nix Mini 2 connected to the 'Nix Paints' app, select a paint swatch to scan. The presenter uses a Benjamin Moore 'Driftwood' swatch. Hold the Nix Mini 2 sensor flat against the swatch and tap 'Scan' in the app. The device scans the color, and the app displays the scanned surface's color, followed by a list of 'Excellent Matches' and 'Good Matches'. The primary match (Benjamin Moore 'Driftwood') is shown as an 'Excellent Match', demonstrating the device's high accuracy. The app also suggests close alternatives from other brands like Behr and Sherwin-Williams.

Goal: The presenter demonstrates scanning a physical paint swatch using the Nix Mini 2 and the app, showing its accuracy in identifying exact and close color matches from various brands.

next device um at one of the recent shows i went to in vegas i believe it's like the national hardware show and i was started testing it and i was shocked at the device and the accuracy of this device and if you know anything um about delta e you know accuracy when it comes to paint colors you know anything under a delta on e3 you typically can't see you know with um our untrained person a human eye color difference and then like a delta e1 uh human eye can't see the color difference this thing will color match um as close as a delta e1 color match is pretty amazing so i'm gonna show you just quickly what this thing does and it actually syncs with an app on your phone now before the ones you would just it would give you the information right on an led screen on the device um this is really cool um put a app on your phone and the app is uh mix paint there's a bunch of different apps there's like five of them out there the one you actually want um if you're a painter um if you're a designer if you're an architect is the um the nyx paint app and what that gives you the ability to select fan decks from all over the world that you want to color match and get the color matched to and so
