Scribble Pen: 100,000 Ink Colors In One Pen

Designed by Mark Barker and Robert Hoffman, the Scribble Pen ‘works by using a 16-bit RGB color sensor and ARM 9 microprocessor to detect colors upon nearly any surface, then formulates the scanned hue with a matching CMYK ink for output (it’s very similar to a mini-sized computerized house paint mixer found at any home improvement or house paint retailer). One gigabyte of internal storage equates to a maximum of 100,000 unique colors in the pen’s memory; Scribble+, a partner mobile app can further store and display collected colors for use on a tablet or smartphone.’ Both of the models will be available for pre-order at Kickstarter. via designmilk
