Uniform Color Space Model for Harmonious Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing color selection systems struggle to provide harmonious and emotionally appealing color combinations on-the-fly, as they are limited by pre-determined recommendations and non-uniform color spaces that complicate analytical analysis.
Innovation Solution
A color selection system that uses novel uniform three-dimensional color spaces in Cartesian, polar, and spherical coordinates, allowing for transformations and inverse transformations between different color spaces, enabling the calculation of harmonious and emotionally resonant color combinations by quantizing color spaces into sub-spaces and applying clustering processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If pre-determined color combinations are used, then the selection process is simple, but the variety and creativity of color combinations are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically generates color combinations based on the user's selected starting color rather than using static pre-determined combinations. The algorithm calculates harmonious colors in real-time based on color wheel theories and uniform color spaces, allowing the recommendations to adapt to any user input and provide unlimited variety while maintaining ease of use.
2Quantity of substance
If conventional non-uniform color spaces are used, then existing color data can be represented, but analytical analysis becomes complicated and less accurate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces uniform color spaces (such as uniform-Hue or uniform-Chroma spaces) as intermediary representations that bridge conventional color data and analytical requirements. These uniform spaces transform color data into a format where distance and similarity metrics are meaningful and straightforward, simplifying analytical processes while maintaining accurate color representation and relationships.
3Adaptability or versatility
If color harmony and emotion analysis are performed on-the-fly, then relevant and emotionally appealing combinations are provided, but computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes color harmony rules and emotion threshold criteria based on color wheel theories and psychological color associations. When a user selects a starting color, the system retrieves pre-computed harmonious colors and emotion data from structured databases, performing the heavy computational work in advance rather than in real-time, thus reducing on-the-fly computational complexity while maintaining high relevance.
