Cronzy – The smart pen that can scan and draw in 16 million colors

The Cronzy pen is no different from other prototypes of color-detecting instruments. But what makes Cronzy more special is the fact that it contains ink cartridges that allow you to actually draw with the colors you scanned.

Cronzy developers claim that this pen can scan and draw in 16 million scanned colors, that is "all the colors and shades of the existing world!"

Take a look at these promotional gifs, which demonstrate how the pen would work.

With the help of apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, you will be able to:
• Select the desired color and its shade;
• Save frequently used and favorite scanned colors onto your device;
• Share interesting colors with other users.

Cronzy has several nibs with different tip diameters, so you will be able to write notes or create colorful sketches. You just have to use the integrated application to choose any color you want and start writing or drawing.

At first glance, the concept of Cronzy seems "debatable". This video of a prototype, which uses a CMYK color mixing algorithm, might still clarify:
