PPG VisualizID software takes information from PPG DigiMatch or PPG’s other spectrophotometers to help users find a colour match from PPG’s extensive colour portfolio. It is the first software of its kind in the industry, digitizing a process that used to involve trial and error and ultimately reducing waste.
