Really cool color pen!

Duplicates colors it scans!

Have you ever wanted to draw in any color? This pen’s technology allows its user to scan and reproduce any color, revolutionizing the drawing and coloring process.

The pen called “Scribble” combines a built-in RGB sensor and a five-color ink cartridge, the pen is able to produce any color huge that it scans, matching it to the precise color pigment. Although Scribble has not yet reached the retail market it, consumers, artists, designers are eagerly awaiting its release, set to price at $150.00 per unit. Many have already signed up for an alert to stay current on the Scribble Kickstarter campaign.

The revolutionary nature of this product has mass appeal “for the color blind, kids, interior decorators, homeowners, teachers, artists, photographers, designer and students,” says a company spokesperson.

The Scribble is designed with a scanner located at the top of the pen. When it is directed at any color, the scanner saves the shade, analyzes it, and reproduces it using an appropriate, formulaic combination of inks from the five-color ink cartridge.

Scribbe’s developers assert that the pen has the capability to store 100,000 colors in an internal memory storage for future use; the device is powered by a small, rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Total weight of the pen is a light 39 grams, allowing its user to wield it without sacrificing dexterity.

For the skeptics and naysayers who believe paper is a medium of the past, Scribble will offer a stylus which will have the same color replication capabilities that can be utilized in conjunction with digital devices at roughly half the cost of its physical ink counterpart.

Artists can use it to try to make their renderings more life-like and accurate.

It isn't going to safe humanity, but I still think it is a really cool invention.

4. I'd like to see how close the match is. Artists have been known to be rather particular

If it can really analyze an object and identify exact coloring, it would help artists to then do so with their paints-- as one example...

For the consumer, seeing a house painted the color one wants to achieve might result in the pen documenting the exact shade which could then be taken to a paint store for mixing.
