An intriguing photo projection system uses only black images and a prism to project full-color imagery. A Dartmouth College and Disney Research Zürich study could result in future systems that dynamically trade off color fidelity, efficiency, and resolution to create full-color projections.

Entrepreneurs Denmark have another step towards improving the general usability of 3D printers with the Diamond Hotend, a single 3D extruder unit that can mix and melt three colors of filaments together and produce items in a rainbow of colors.

ScienceA skin-like membrane progressively changes color when stretched by tiny amounts. Its creators say that it is easy to manufacture and could have applications in security, entertainment, and structural monitoring.
-
ScienceIf the object is quite large, or if a lot of them are being made, paint can add considerably to its weight and/or production costs. With that in mind, researchers have created a new lightweight, low-cost coloring technology for both rough and smooth surfaces.
-
Researchers at Rice University have developed an image sensor that integrates light amplifiers and color filters directly into pixels, enabling color detection similar to the human eye.

Back in May we reported on plans to create the Scribble – a pen that can scan and reproduce any color you can find on the fly. After the project smashed its Kickstarter target in just five hours, those plans are now one big step closer to reality.

Chromville is an educational app for kids, which sees their real-world colorings brought to life via augmented reality and used in digital story-based mini-games.

How would you like to sample a color that you encounter in the real world, and then draw with it? That's just what Scribble's upcoming Ink color picker pen is designed to let you do.

The Mink 3D printer lets users create their own makeup. Instead of being restricted to a limited color palette, users will be able to print (and wear) makeup in any color in the world, from the comfort of their own homes.

Solar cells that can also be colored and transparent windows is the hope of research from the University of Michigan. Using a hybrid silicon/organic composition the team avoids some of the traditional pitfalls of colored cells.

Tokyo's Komamura Corporation is readying a new handheld camcorder called the Falcon Eye KC-2000 for release, which brings a splash of color to scenes too dark to be visible to the human eye.

Many 3D-printed plastic items have a certain "look" to them, due to the fact that they're all one uniform color. That apparently no longer has to be the case, however, as 3D Systems has unveiled its ProJet 4500. It's described as "the industry’s only continuous tone full-color plastic 3D printer."
