Systems and methods include a display assembly that displays paint color chips at paint color chip locations that each have a divider tab. A light-emitting diode (LED) control circuit is in communication with each LED of an LED array and in communication with a computing device that determines a particular paint color chip based on received input, determines a particular paint color chip location of the particular paint color chip, identifies a particular LED associated with the particular paint color chip location, and transmits an activation signal to the LED control circuit. The LED control circuit receives the activation signal and activates the particular LED to illuminate the divider tab located at the particular paint color chip location within the display assembly.

Systems and methods for color selection are provided. A user device displays room types on a display, receives a room type selection indicating a particular room type, displays phrases having words associated with types of feelings, and receives a phrase selection indicating a particular phrase. The user device accesses a lookup table that associates the room types and phrase with paint colors such that each possible combination of room type and phrase is associated with a subset of paint colors. The user device determines the associated subset of paint colors in the lookup table for the combination of the particular room type and the particular phrase and displays the associated subset of paint colors as recommended paint colors for the combination of the particular room type and the particular phrase on the display of the user device.

Systems and methods for assisting with color selection

Systems and methods are provided and include a computer terminal located at a flooring store that receives a measured color of a flooring product. A server receives paint product catalog information from a computer system located at a coating manufacturer facility, determines paint colors that coordinate with the flooring product based on the paint product catalog information, and runs a paint product ordering application that interacts with a web browser of the computer terminal. The computer terminal receives a paint product ordering web page from the server that enables a user to create an order for a paint product based on a selected paint color and transmits the order to the server. The server receives the order and communicates the order to the computer system at the coating manufacturer facility. The computer system receives the order for order fulfillment, including creating, packing, and shipping the paint product to the user.

Systems and methods for a user to paint an image includes generating a display of a room image uploaded by the user are provided and include The systems and methods include employing a straight-line masking tool to block off a first area of the room image with a straight line such that color will not be applied to the first area when color is applied to a second area of the room image. The systems and methods also include employing a polygon masking tool to draw at least three lines to mask off a selected polygon area of the room image such that color can be applied by the user to an inside of the selected polygon area when the user selects the inside of the selected polygon area and an outside of the selected polygon area when the user selects the outside of the selected polygon area.

Paint your place application for optimizing digital painting of an image

Systems and methods for color selection are provided and include a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure the computing device to receive an image and determine a dominant color for the image by dividing the image into pixel groups, analyzing pixels in each of the pixel groups at different sample rates based on how close the pixel group is to the center of the image with pixel groups closer to the center of the image having a higher sample rate, and determining the dominant color for the image based on the analyzed pixels in each of the pixel groups. The instructions further configure the computing device to determine a closest matching paint color for the dominant color for the image and display a color name or a color code associated with the closest matching paint color for the dominant color.

Systems and methods for analyzing colors

Systems and methods for color selection are provided. A user device displays room types on a display, receives a room type selection indicating a particular room type, displays types of feelings, and receives a type of feeling selection indicating a particular type of feeling. The user device accesses a lookup table that associates the room types and types of feelings with paint colors such that each possible combination of room type and type of feeling is associated with a subset of paint colors. The user device determines the associated subset of paint colors in the lookup table for the combination of the particular room type and the particular type of feeling and displays the associated subset of paint colors as recommended paint colors for the combination of the particular room type and the particular type of feeling on the display of the user device.

Systems and methods for color selection are provided and include a web server configured to communication computer executable instructions to a mobile device that configure the mobile device to access a social media platform, retrieve a plurality of images from the social media platform, determine a dominant color for each image of the plurality of images using different sample rates for different pixel groups based on how close each pixel group is to the center of the image, determine a closest matching paint color for the dominant color for each image, and display at least one of a color name and a color code associated with the closest matching paint color for the dominant color for each image.
