Claim 0:
1. A color identification system for identifying a color of a sample object comprising:
an image capture device configured to acquire an image of a sample;
a processor having memory configured by program code executed thereby to:
identify a pre-defined region of the image corresponding to a portion of the sample, calculate using values from the pre-defined region one set of RGB values by averaging the RGB values for the pre-defined region,
apply the one set of averaged RGB values for the image as inputs to a pre-trained artificial neural network, the pre-trained artificial neural network (ANN) having at least an input and an output layer, wherein the output layer is configured to output color values in a pre-determined color space that is substantially similar to an expected output of a target color measurement device when the target color measurement device is used to measure the sample;
generate, using the artificial neural network, an output in the predetermined color space values wherein the output corresponds to one or more color values of the sample; and
provide the output to one or more display devices.
