The invention relates to a system and a method for ascertaining a color recipe, having the steps of: a) providing a database with a plurality of data sets, b) specifying a target application method, a target substrate, and a desired target hue by means of a user, c) searching the database using a computer program, and d) displaying stored information relating to the color recipe of at least one data set if found. The database for at least one hue comprises at least two different respective data sets, each of which comprises the same hue identification code but different substrates and/or application methods, and different color recipes, and the database for at least one color recipe comprises at least two different respective data sets, each of which comprises the same color recipe identification code but different substrates and/or application methods, and the resulting hue, wherein i) at least 90% of the data sets with different hues contain a respective different hue identification code than the other data sets, and/or ii) at least 90% of the data sets with different color recipes contain a respective different color recipe identification code than the other data sets.
