Konica Minolta Color Meters

a: Konica minolta color meters ~
b: A ruler for color

What: This color meter is a like a thermometer for color or maybe a ruler. It measures the coldness or hotness of a color. This is NOT a subjective experience, it involves a methodology that is consistent and reproducible and highly mathematical. Many artist don't like this idea. The idea of unity of color and number, of color and math. But they would be close-minded to cling to such an idea. The unity of color and number does not diminish the emotion experience of color. It unifies the abstract world of math and sensual ness. It REPRESENTS a unification of mind, not dismemberment. Or a color scale like weight........sometimes the color is heavy sometimes light....
