Abstract:
A Method and Apparatus for Comparing Colors have been disclosed. In one implementation a compliant membrane which is substantially transparent with an area having a shade/color is placed on the user's skin to see what the shade/color will look like on the skin. In one implementation a compliant substrate which is largely transparent with an area having a shade/color is placed on an inanimate object to see how the shade/color will appear on the inanimate object without the substrate itself causing an unnecessary barrier between the inanimate object and the shade/color.
Abstract:
An automatic tag identification system identifies tags for color themes, a color theme referring to a set of multiple colors that work well together to create (e.g., are visually appropriate for creating) a desired effect, and a tag referring to one or more words that describe a color theme. The automatic tag identification system receives an indication of the multiple colors (e.g., five colors) for a color theme. A first machine learning system uses the indicated multiple colors to generate a color theme embedding for the color theme, which is a vector encoding or embedding of the color theme. The second machine learning system uses the color theme embedding generated by the first machine learning system to generate one or more tags that label the color theme. These one or more tags can then be saved as associated with or corresponding to the multiple colors for the color theme.
Abstract:
A computer generated webpage having a plurality of selectable links comprising a column of color family chips disposed along a left edge of the webpage display, a column of miniature color chip sub-family arrays display adjacent the column of color chips, and a centrally located enlarged display of one of the miniature color chip sub-families, the webpage further comprising an enlarged color chip appearing in an upper right corner thereof, a room display beneath the color chip, and a color palette display positioned beneath the centrally located enlarged display.
Abstract:
The disclosure is related to a décor harmony service (DHS) that facilitates mapping of colors from a color palette to décor accessories in a setting, e.g., a room, such that the décor accessories, when arranged together, appear harmonious to a user. For example, using harmony-distribution rules, the DHS maps a set of décor accessories occupying “60%” of the area of a room to a main color of a color palette, a second set of décor accessories occupying “30%” to a feature color and a third set of décor accessories occupying “10%” to an accent color. The DHS generates a representation of the room, e.g., an image of the room, with the décor accessories having the assigned colors. The DHS facilitates a user to use the generated image for finding and purchasing décor products that match with a décor accessory in the generated image.
Abstract:
Assembly for selecting matching colours to base colours of user articles. The assembly comprises a substrate provided with a plurality of selection areas that have mutually differing selection colours. The assembly further comprises a cover having a first main surface provided with a first base colour and having a second main surface. The cover is provided with a window. The assembly is provided with holding means for holding the cover to the substrate in a first cover position wherein, by means of the window, at least one selection area is exposed. The second main surface is provided with a second base colour. The window and the holding means are arranged for holding the cover to the substrate in a second cover position wherein, by means of the window, at least one selection area is exposed.
Abstract:
The color device has a core with hues that gradually change whiteness, respectively. The discs have hues covering an entire color spectrum at a certain level of whiteness. All hues of the first and second discs have the first and second level of whiteness, respectively. The discs extend perpendicularly outwardly from the core. The first disc is axially remote from the second disc so that a distance (d) is formed therebetween. The discs are aligned so that color cells of the first disc axially aligned with color cells of the second disc have identical hues except for different whiteness. The level of color saturation in the color cells is gradually increased radially outwardly from the core.
Abstract:
A paint or stain color selection device includes a frame sized for arms-length handheld use. The frame at least partially surrounds a viewing aperture. A plurality of distinct paint or stain color representations having surface areas smaller than the cross-sectional area defined by the viewing aperture are disposed on the frame and distributed around the viewing aperture. The device may be held in a user's hand and used to view remote objects or surfaces through the viewing aperture while visually comparing the object or surface to one or more of the paint or stain color representations.
