The Scribble Ink colour picker pen has an RGB colour sensor on one end that the user can hold up to a leaf, brick or a person's face.
An integrated microprocessor analyses the colour and stores it. When the user later wants to draw or write in that colour, the pen reproduces it by mixing ink from its cyan, magenta, yellow, white and/or black refillable cartridges.
It is possible to reproduce over 16 million colours, 100,000 of which can be stored on the pen's 1GB of memory at one time.
For those who prefer tablet screens over paper, a Scribble Stylus will be available. Instead of ink cartridges and a writing tip, it will feature a capacitive rubber tip. Colour information will be transmitted to the user's tablet by Bluetooth.
The Ink and Stylus are expected to cost USD 149.95 and USD 79.95, respectively.
