The present invention is directed to a method of utilizing a digital micromirror device (DMD) to spectrally matching a standard or device-independent color. DMD can be fitted on an integrated chip and can provide more than one thousand (1,000) color primary channels for low metameric color matching producing a spectrally matched batch color.

Self-coalescing latexes that incorporate film forming polymers that are low molecular weight polymers that are compatible with the latex and act as thin plasticizers penetrating through the remainder of the latex particle and aiding in the coalescence of the remaining polymers. The self-coalescing latex is a sequentially polymerized polymer having at least a core, a shell and a skin. The film forming polymers are formed of monomers substantially the same as the monomers of the shell but having average weighted molecular weights substantially less than the polymers of the shell. The method of polymerizing the self-coalescing latex results from the addition of a substantial amount of chain transfer agent to a remaining portion, about 15% or less, of the monomer pre-emulsion prior to polymerization. Paint compositions incorporate the self-coalescing latexes that are substantially free of coalescing agents or aids.

A unique color management method for calibrating and characterizing a light mixing system comprising a set of primary light modules emitting self-luminous color primaries, which may be intimately mixed to produce a batch color that matches a standard color. The radiant output of each self-luminous color primary, or channel, is modulated by a setting a light controller to a Digital-to-Analog- Conversion ('DAC") value. In the event that the radiant output of the color primary channels is nonlinearly proportioned to the DAC input values, an "iterative best-fit" method simultaneously calculates admixtures of light from all color primaries that match a standard color. Matrix algebra may also be used to create a batch color that matches a standard color. Other spectral color matching methods include a best fit tristimulus value method, best fit minimum RMSD, and an optical feedback to correct systematic drift of the individual color primary channels.
