Systems and methods include a server configured to provide a web site application to a remote computing device over the Internet. The remote computing device is configured to receive user input to control a cursor. The web site application is configured to enable the remote computing device to display a plurality of color sheen chips on a display of the remote computing device, each color sheen chip representing a paint sheen. The web site application is configured to pivot a particular color sheen chip of the plurality of color sheen chips about a central axis of the particular color sheen chip on a display of the remote computing device when a cursor of the remote computing device is moved over the particular color sheen chip to enhance displayed characteristics of the paint sheen associated with the particular color sheen chip.

Color selection, coordination and purchase system

Systems and methods are provided and include a web server configured to provide data to a terminal for generating a display within a web browser of the terminal. The display has a first column of selectable color chips, each representing an associated color family, and a second column of miniature selectable color chip sub-family arrays, each having selectable color chips. A user selection from the first column causes a central display area to display an initial miniature selectable color chip sub-family array. The display also has an enlarged color chip and a room display displaying a room. A user selection of a color from the central display area causes (i) the enlarged color chip to change to the selected color, (ii) an area of the room to be colored with the selected color, and (iii) an initial row of color palettes, each including the selected color, to be displayed.

Automated color selection method and apparatus with compact functionality

Systems and methods include a server configured to provide a web site application to a remote computing device over the Internet. The remote computing device receives user input to control a cursor. The web site application is configured to enable the remote computing device to display a plurality of color sheen chips on a display of the remote computing device, each color sheen chip representing a different color sheen. The web site application is configured to enlarge a particular color sheen chip of the plurality of color sheen chips on the display when the cursor hovers over the particular color sheen chip and to toggle the color sheen chip left and right when the cursor is moved back and forth over the particular color sheen chip.

Systems and methods are provided and include a web server configured to provide data to a terminal for generating a first, second, and third web page display screens within a web browser. The first web page display enables selection of a particular color family. The second web page display screen is generated in response to the selection and has an enlarged display of the particular color family. The enlarged display includes color chips associated with the particular color family and enables selection of a particular color chip. The third web page display screen is generated in response to the selection of the particular color chip and has an enlarged display of the particular color chip. A thumbnail navigation frame displays color families, a link enabling return to the first web page display screen, and a color name and/or a color number associated with the particular color chip.

Automated color selection method and apparatus

A website arranged to provide a plurality of home pages, each presenting a featured painting project image, each project image employing a plurality of different colors, each color located in a respective region of the image with at least one attention-drawing animated 'hot spot' located in one or more of the regions and responsive to a first selection operation to cause display of the color name of the color of the region where the hot spot lies. The home pages further may include real-life simulating animation features, while the system software is operable to select the relative frequency with which each home page appears. Other web pages provide an animated color sheen selection tool.

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.

An automated method and apparatus for providing color selection capability to a user, wherein a first display is generated on a display apparatus of a plurality of color families displayed in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. Upon selection of a particular color family, a second display is generated comprising an enlarged display of the particular selected color family and a thumbnail navigation frame displaying the plurality of color families and a link enabling return to the first display, the enlarged display including a plurality of color chips of the particular color family. A third display may further be generated in response to a selection of a particular color chip on the second display, the third display having an enlarged display of the particular color chip, the thumbnail navigation frame displaying the plurality of color families, and the link enabling return to the first display.

An automated method and apparatus for providing color selection capability to a user wherein a first display is generated on a display apparatus of an array of color family groups disposed in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. Upon selection of a particular color family group, a second display is generated comprising an enlarged display of a particular selected color family group and a reduced size miniature version of the array of color family groups. A third display may further be generated in response to selection of a color chip on the second display during which generation a color chip selected on the second display is caused to appear in an enlarged form in the third display.

An automated method and apparatus for providing color selection capability to a user wherein a first display is generated on a display apparatus of an array of color family groups disposed in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. Upon selection of a particular color family group, a second display is generated comprising an enlarged display of a particular selected color family group wherein, as the second display is generated, the array of color family groups of the first display dissolves while the particular selected color family group moves into a central enlarged position and a miniature version of the entire array of color family groups is displayed in a thumbnail navigation frame, located in a corner of the display screen. Various elements of a color family such as color stripe cards, color style cards, and sample chips may be selected and caused to appear via animation in a central enlarged position in the display.
