In this paper, we describe our novel image display technology to control the paint color of everyday physical objects. RGB (Red-Green-Blue), an additive color mixture of light's three primary colors is used to create images in screens and display while CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black), a subtractive color model is specialized to printing to papers. However, here we propose the system that uses CMYK color mode and digitally controls images by a chromogenic method of thermochromic inks. Due to the temperature sensitive property of these inks, this technology can digitally change painted colors of physical objects dynamically by changing temperatures.
