NAME

Convert::Color::ScaleModels - converts between color numbers from scale model paint manufacturers (Humbrol, Revell, Tamiya)

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

This module converts between color numbers from scale model paint manufacturers (Humbrol, Revell, Tamiya).

use Convert::Color::ScaleModels;

my $color = Convert::Color::ScaleModels->new();

my $revell_flesh_num = $color->convert('61', 'humbrol', 'revell');
print "manufacturer = $color->{man}\n";     # 'revell'
print "color name = $color->{name}\n";      # 'flesh matt'          
print "color number = $color->{num}\n";     # 35
print "color number (return value from method) = $revell_flesh_num\n";  # also 35

The color number values are taken from Humbrol's own conversion tables (http://humbrol.com/convert-to-humbrol/conversion-tables/).

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

my $color = Convert::Color::ScaleModels->new();

convert

Converts between color numbers from scale model paint manufacturers (Humbrol, Revell, Tamiya). The object properties (name, num and man) are set after conversion. For instance, to convert color number 61 ('flesh matt') from Humbrol to the corresponding value from Revell (if available), use

my $revell_flesh_num = $color->convert(61, 'humbrol', 'revell');  # $revell_flesh_num = 35

name

print $color->name('65', 'humbrol');    # 'aircraft blue matt'
