Color Picker by Korean designer Jin-sun Park is a concept pen that can scan colors from anything around and instantly use the color for drawing. After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the scan button.
The color is being detected by the color sensor and the RGB cartridge of the pen mixes the required inks to create the target color. With Color Picker, all range of artists will be able to create a more sensorial and visual insight of their surrounding nature's colors.

No doubt the replacement ink cartridges are 20x the price of the pen itself...
This cannot be true. The diagram at the link says the pen uses red, green, and blue ink. But those pigments can't mix to form all colors! The ink would have to be cyan, yellow, and magenta!
"This superb device will help people to observe the changing colors of nature."
What nonsense. :-\
It's RGB ink... so if I sample the yellow peel of a banana, how will it mix those inks to match...?
This is merely a concept idea. Concepted by a non-artist I guess.
And again with this "RGB" pen I keep seeing everywhere. The guy must use GIMP, or just has never worked in publishing.
At the moment, you cannot paint with light, no matter what Thomas Kinkaide says.
Oh please... Come on people this is the Jesus Principle, It's advertised as the perfect drawing instrument, rendering any and all explanations as unnecessary. Do not concern yourself with the details the essence of the Presurfer is divine, understand...
RGB cartridge? Come on... Does your printer have RGB cartridges or CMYK? That's a terrible flaw!
Could anyone tell me how it will pick the color, which is reflected to your eye from light, if the area from which the pick is taken is in complete shadow from the pen itself?
This really just is a concept.
I think this sounds like an excellent idea. There may be some pretty big flaws, as you have all jumped to point out, but if they iron those out and make something that can achieve this, then it'll be fantastic. Even if its not able to replicate things like 'the light in someones eyes', artists and illustrators have found ways to do that for years, so why should they stop said methods now just because this pen struggles to do so? Hang with me a second, but just because this pen is useful, it wouldn't have to be the end of all other artistic media. Its just another tool to work alongside other tools.
