RE: Blue Angles Paint Codes
The three astericks behind the formula number indicate that the color camera (Prophet) started with 11252 and tinted it. 11252 alone will not make that color. That is how the camera works. Five "pictures" are taken of the color. It actually isn't a picture but a numerical representation of the reflectivity it sees. The readings are downloaded into the PPG Access software and then the magic happens. The software is looking for a color that it feels either matches right off the bat or decides it has found a color it thinks is close. Then the software tints the color to what it feels is the match. Alot of times it works great but sometimes you wonder what it was thinking. Anyways, the three astericks indicate the software decided that formula # 11252 was workable. The system adjusted the formula so it would match what it "saw". Hopefully they included the actual formula on the label. If they didn't, go back to the jobber. The readings are still in the computer. Have them print out a formula and there you go.
