Abstract

Paint bases are the essence of the color palette, allowing for the creation of a wide range of tones by combining them in different proportions. In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network is developed incorporating a pre-trained Decoder to predict the proportion of each paint base in an ink mixture in order to achieve the desired color. Color coordinates in the CIELAB space and the final finish are considered as input parameters. The proposed model is compared with commonly used models such as Linear Regression, Random Forest and Artificial Neural Network. It is important to note that the Artificial Neural Network was implemented with the same architecture as the proposed model but without incorporating the pre-trained Decoder. Experimental results demonstrate that the Artificial Neural Network with a pre-trained Decoder consistently outperforms the other models in predicting the proportions of paint bases for color tuning. This model exhibits lower Mean Absolute Error and Root Mean Square Error values across multiple objectives, indicating its superior accuracy in capturing the complexities of color relationships.
