Abstract

The invention relates to a method for providing a decorative combination for furniture items and/or interior fixtures. The problem addressed of providing a method for producing a decorative combination, for which the matching of said combination with respect to a change of illuminant is further simplified, is solved by a method including the steps: carrying out colorimetric measurements, under at least two different illuminants, on a first decorative element of a first fixture; determining a reference colour change of the first decorative element when the change between the at least two different illuminants is made; printing a second decorative element onto a second fixture, a selection and/or combination of inks for the printing process being carried out on the basis of a colour change of the inks under a change of illuminant, such that a colour change of the second decorative element under the change of the at least two different illuminants is compared to the reference colour change. The invention also relates to a system, in particular for carrying out a method according to the invention, the system including a colorimeter, a printer and a control device.
