Color Scheme Manipulation Technolgy

Abstract

A color-changing auxiliary system comprising; a color-modifiable material, a pigment pump, and a control mechanism, are in communication allowing for color customization of household, wearable, or any other material in which color is seen. A pigment pump containing a plurality of pigment reserves with selectable colors works to mix and pump pigments into a channel of the color-customizable material. A channel is defined as a base layer with a translucent top layer, with sealable inlets and outlets to retain pigment. The pigment pump is reversible in order to pump pigments from the color-customizable material as well as flush remaining pigments in the channel. A touchscreen control is in communication with the device and allows for a user to control the color, amount, and final design of pigments within the material.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A color-customizable material comprising:
 a. a base layer of the color-customizable material;   b. a translucent second layer selectively bonded to the base layer to define one or more channels each of which is in communication with an inlet; and   c. one or more inlets adapted to receive pigment.   
     
     
         2 . The color-customizable material of  claim 1  further comprising at least one channel as defined in  claim 1  terminating in one or more pockets for pooling the pigment. 
     
     
         3 . The color customizable material of  claim 1  further comprising at least one outlet connected to each channel adapted for extracting pigments within the channel. 
     
     
         4 . The color customizable material of  claim 1  further comprising a translucent third layer bonded to the second layer, further defining channels between the second layer and the third layer. 
     
     
         5 . The color customizable material of  claim 1  wherein the inlets are self-sealing. 
     
     
         6 . The color customizable material of  claim 1  further comprising a pigment pump device comprising:
 a. a plurality of one or more pigment reserves; 
 b. a variable control valve connected to the plurality of pigment reserves to selectively intake the pigments; 
 c. a pigment mixing mechanism connected to the variable control pump to mix the pigments; and 
 d. a reversible micropump connected to the pigment mixing mechanism wherein pigments are selectively pumped to the color customizable medium. 
 
     
     
         7 . A pigment pump device comprising:
 e. a plurality of one or more pigment reserves;   f. a variable control valve connected to the plurality of pigment reserves to selectively intake the pigments;   g. a pigment mixing mechanism connected to the variable control pump to mix the pigments; and   h. a reversible micropump connected to the pigment mixing mechanism wherein pigments are selectively pumped to the color customizable medium.   
     
     
         8 . The pigment pump device of  claim 7  further comprising an air bubble remover adapted to remove air bubbles from the pigment. 
     
     
         9 . The pigment pump device of  claim 7  further comprising a variable control valve wherein pigments are selectively communicated to the color customizable material. 
     
     
         10 . The pigment pump device of  claim 7  further comprising a microcontroller connected to the valves and mixing mechanism and a touchscreen control connected to the microcontroller. 
     
     
         11 . A method of colorizing a detachable medium comprising:
 a. connecting a pigment pump device to one or more inlets of the colorable material having pigment channels;   b. pumping pigments into pigment channels of the material;   c. pigment channels filling with colored pigment;   i. disconnecting the pigment pump and sealing the inlets;   d. connecting a secondary reversible micropump to inlets and removing pigment to a flush reservoir;   e. pumping new pigment into channels through inlets.
