Paint-Mixing Devices

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Picolor is an Efficient and Convenient Way for Artists to Mix Paint

— March 16, 2018 — Tech
There are two exciting advantages that a paint mixing device can grant its users -- a trustworthy assistant for the person who isn't skilled in making new colors and a curious piece of tech that allows the user to explore over one million distinct nuances.

Picolor is the first of its kind. It is a completely portable and efficient assistant for the contemporary artist. The paint-mixing device contains Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black and White within it's small cubic design.

The art-tech gadget is easy to use. A color can be selected from an accompanying phone app. The paint-mixing device receives the command and produces the color through a series of intricate mechanisms. Artists are able to fill their marker through a small dispensing tube and afterwards, they are ready to draw.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Paint-mixing Devices - Opportunity for companies to create more portable and easy-to-use paint mixing gadgets for artists on-the-go.
2. Smartphone-connected Paint-mixing Devices - Opportunity for companies to develop app-connected paint mixing devices that simplify the color selection and paint mixing process for artists.
3. Compact Paint-mixing Devices - Opportunity for companies to innovate smaller and more efficient paint mixing devices that take up less space in artists’ workspaces.
Industry Implications
1. Art Supplies Industry - Opportunity for art supplies companies to expand their product offerings by developing their own paint-mixing devices for customers.
2. Smart Home Technology Industry - Opportunity for smart home technology companies to develop paint-mixing devices that integrate with smart home systems and can be controlled with voice commands.
3. Industrial Design Industry - Opportunity for industrial design firms to collaborate with paint manufacturers and create more efficient paint mixing devices for use on factory floors.
