I am trying to get a paint to match one of the colours present in my wood
effect PVC windows. Just been to the local B&Q warehouse and found that
both the B&Q system and the Dulux system only produce standard if wide
ranges of colours, none of which are what I want. The Dulux system has a
system which scans a sample, but can only recommend and produce one of the
wide range of Dulux colours.

Clearly it would be possible to produce a system which would give an
infinite range of colours, one of which would produce a match for my PVC
windows.

Does such a system exist?

Remembering the extensive advertising for these systems in the past, I
am staggered that they don't do exactly what you wanted. I thought
that was the point of having them and the large plant to deliver the
paint. You took your funny colour in, they scanned it and that colour
came out of the spout into the tin.

This is bad news for me.
