Abstract
In a method for generating a color match between a target object having a plurality of different target color values and a source object, a target color space with target color locations to be correlated with target color values is generated for the target object. For the source object, a source color space having a plurality of source color locations is generated, wherein the source color locations are correlated with a source color value, respectively. For each target color location a position in the vicinity of a similar source color location is determined within the source color space. The spacing of this position from the similar source color location is determined, and, based on the spacing, the source color value correlated with the similar source color location is changed.
