Question 1

Does this provide rgb and cmyk colour matches to use for digital graphics?

Accepted Answer

The android Color Muse app has the ability to define filters using the funnel icon at the top.   I set it for United States and BM, SW and PPG paint brands.   The filter can be saved and used again by going to the funnel, click on the star icon to get to the list of save filters, and select it.     If you click on a matched color, it will tell you the brand and other details.

Question 2

On the app. Does it tell you a brand of paint to buy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, It will tell you the brand, color and even the paint code.  It will also give you other options.  For example, say that your color is Sherman Williams but you want Behr, you can select Behr and it will tell you what the color match is in Behr paints.  I found it extremely helpful for matching paints and then spent the next week just playing with it and seeing what it can do.  Pretty cool device.

Question 3

Besides rgb..what other scan results does it display? thanks!

Accepted Answer

Go to the website and look but it returns RGB, CIE Lab and LCh in D50 light and CIE2000 and HSB (not sure what HSB coordinates are).

Question 4

Beside RGB values, what other results will the unit display?

Accepted Answer

Beside the commercial paint colors noted in the other review it also gives you a "Delta E" value.  This is a calculation that tells you how far off the color is from another sample.  Without getting into much detail (you can look it up on Wikipedia) a low value (such as less than 1.0)- they consider this an imperceptible color difference.  The higher the number the bigger the difference.   As far as the charging cord goes - I have a drawer full of micro USB cords that fit this and number of other products.  For most people this isn't an issue - it is a common size.
