What is it about?
After improving Siripant's method of analyzing traditional Thai colours and after publishing some intermediary results in Color Research and Application, we developed an automated method, outlined in this article, which helped us create the Traditional Thai Color Dictionary comprising all colours that could be painted by ten artists from the Fine Arts Department, specialists in restorations, appointed by the Thai Ministry of Culture.
