Claim 11:
12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
read a sample color from an optical fiber in a fiber optic cable, wherein the sample color has a color value;
select a color match algorithm from a plurality of color matching algorithms;, input the color value into a selected color match algorithm, wherein the selected color matching algorithm processes the inputted color value with respect to a plurality of reference colors;
generate for each reference color of the plurality of reference colors a color match score using the selected color matching algorithm;
generate a confidence value based on a ratio of scores of two closest matched colors;
if another color match algorithm from the plurality of color matching algorithms is available for selection, performing the selecting, the inputting, the generating of another color match score, and the generating another confidence value;
when no other color match algorithm is available,
determine a largest confidence value from the generated confidence values;
select a color corresponding to the determined largest confidence value as the color of the optical fiber in the fiber optic cable; and
generate an output indicate the selected color.
