USING YOUR COLOURKEY

Colourkey is an easy to use measurement and lookup tool, and more. Measure any colour, on almost any surface, and get the closest paint colour match, from a database of thousands (including British Standard, RAL and NCS as well as Crown Paints colours), on your Smart phone. Colourkey not only provides paint library results, but also LRV, HEX, RGB, Lab, LCH & CMYK values, as well as suggested colour schemes.

To get started follow the quick start guide below

If you don’t have a Colourkey just yet and would like to know more just get in touch with CDC Ireland or CDC UK to find out more. 

STEP 1 - GETTING STARTED

  • Charge your Colourkey with the included USB cable
  • Download the mobile app to your smart phone
  • Register your device & insert access code CPKey_001 to unlock our colour library

STEP 2 - GET CONNECTED

  • Make sure your Bluetooth is switched on
  • Open your app and wake up the Colourkey by pressing the button on the top of the unit
  • Leaving the black cap on your Colourkey follow the prompt to calibrate your device and you’re ready to go

STEP 3 - READ A COLOUR​

  • Remove the black cap and pop it on the other end of your device. Be careful not to lose or damage the cap – that little white dot calibrates your Colourkey
