By 12/31/2004, a total of 6,400 copies of these books, works, and CD ROMs had been sold in France.

The CD ROM "Color by the Numbers", translated into 5 languages, sold 20,500 copies worldwide, and 44,000 copies of the book "Color & Colorimetry", translated into 5 languages as well, were distributed throughout the world.

Since, then Alain Chrisment has created more than 50,000 works and tools, most of which have been translated into several languages.

Each work was created in order to offer concrete solutions to problems faced in regards to the communication, observation, creation, reproduction, control, fabrication, and acceptation of color.

6 sample plates

A simple yet essential pedagogical tool

"ECARTS COLORIMETRIQUES DANS L'ESPACE CIE 1976" 

Colorimetric Difference Sheets

These 6 plates (each containing 7 samples) , allow colorimetric differences to be carried out in the CIELAB space, illustrating the interpretation limits of numerical values compared with visual perception. 
These sheets are a true pedagogical tool, able to act as a communication basis between different players in the color chain.
They also justify the adoption of acceptability systems such as the CMC and CIE 94 formulas.

1998

The book "Color & Colorimetry"

COLOR & COLORIMETRY

Boosted from the success of the first version of "Couleur et Colorimétrie", this book was re-edited and translated into 5 languages at the request of the world's largest  color measurement and formulation company, the DATACOLOR Group.
The topics discussed include color, light-matter interaction, color perception and spaces, colorimetric tolerances and acceptability systems, measurement sample preparations, and colorimetric instrumentation.
