Formula Optimization with MEC — A Real Example: RAL 5012

Every paint factory typically maintains a large database of color formulations for different shades.
When a new color request arrives, the factory often selects the closest existing formula from the database and then adjusts it to match the target color.

The MEC Color Matching Software takes this process to a whole new level.
Simply import your existing formulations into MEC, measure the color with a spectrophotometer, and the software will automatically analyze and optimize the formula to achieve the best possible match.

Practical Example — RAL 5012 (Blue)

In this example, the color RAL 5012 was evaluated using a formula proposed by the user.

  • The initial color difference from the target was ΔE = 7.72.
  • After a single correction step performed by MEC, the difference was reduced to ΔE = 0.54.

That’s a dramatic improvement — achieved instantly and automatically.

Advanced Multi-Formula Optimization

MEC doesn’t stop at a single correction.
You can import multiple initial formulas simultaneously, and the software will evaluate all of them, providing the most accurate and efficient recommendations.

This powerful capability makes the production process faster, more precise, and fully optimized, saving both time and material costs.
