Systems and methods are provided for generating social networking recommendations. A color preference of a first user may be determined from a color palette of a first image associated with the user and/or a color palette of an item associated with the user. Other users may be identified that have a similar color preference as the first user based at least in part on the determined color preference of the first user. Interactions between the first user and one or more other users having similar color preferences with respect to the first user may be facilitated. A social networking recommendation may be generated with respect to the one or more other users having similar color preferences with respect to the first user.

Color based social networking recommendations

Systems and methods are provided for associating colors or color names with a color image based on hue. A set of hue values can be extracted from color data, such as a color palette, corresponding to a color image. A representative hue can be derived from the set of hue values. Colors included in the color data that are attributable to the representative hue can be identified and one or more colors can be derived therefrom as representative of a subject depicted by the color image. Color names matching the representative colors can be identified and associated with the color image. In particular, a common color name can be determined therefrom and associated with the subject of the color image.

Hue-based color naming for an image

Systems and methods are described herein to determine data associated with affiliated color palettes identified from keyword searches of color palettes. Color palettes may be searched by name or other data associated with the color palettes. Affiliated color palettes may be determined based at least in part on an input color. Furthermore, affiliated colors can be determined based at least in part on votes and/or rankings. The items and/or images associated with affiliated color palettes may be identified. Various user interfaces may be based at least in part on the keyword searches of color palettes and/or determination of affiliated color palettes.

Determining affiliated colors from keyword searches of color palettes

Color-related social networking recommendations using affiliated colors

Systems and methods are provided for generating color-related item recommendations using color palette information. A request may be received from a user for a color-related item recommendation. The request may include an input image and one or more item attributes. Based at least in part on an analysis of the input image to identify affiliated colors to the input image and the one or more item attributes, one or more items corresponding to the affiliated colors and the one or more item attributes are identified. Where there is more than one identified item, a ranking for the identified plurality of items may be generated. Item recommendations comprising at least a portion of the identified plurality of items in accordance with the generated ranking may be provided for presentation on a user device.

Automatic color palette based recommendations for affiliated colors

A method of presenting digital assets in response to a search query by a user to locate at least one digital asset from a database of digital assets is described. Each digital asset has at least one keyword associated with it, and each associated keyword is part of a hierarchical organization of keywords. A first set of digital assets that have associated keywords equivalent to the search query is identified as well as suggested keywords that have e.g., an ancestor, descendant or sibling relation to the search query. The digital assets and the suggested keywords are presented to the user. The user selects a suggested keyword, and a second set of digital assets that have associated keywords equivalent to the suggested keyword is identified. The second set of digital assets is presented to the user.

Method and system for searching for digital assets

Systems and methods are described herein to determine data associated with color palettes identified from keyword searches. Color palettes may include colors determined by human color preferences. Color palettes may be searched by name or other data associated with the color palettes. Individual colors may be extracted from color palettes, which may be used to fast index color search a data store of images and/or items. The items and/or images associated with color palettes may be returned based at least in part on the keyword search. Various user interfaces may be based at least in part on the keyword searching and/or trending techniques for color palettes.

Identifying data from keyword searches of color palettes

Systems and methods are described to generate a color palette with color combinations based on human color preferences. One or more input colors can be used to determine affiliated colors based on the presence of colors in color palettes that have been voted on and/or ranked by a community of users. Each affiliated color can be weighted, normalized, and ordered based at least in part on the level of preference for the color palette to which it belongs and the relative popularity of the input colors. A color from the ordered affiliated colors can be selected and added to the custom palette of colors. With the addition of a color, the ordered affiliated colors can be updated to further present colors for inclusion in the custom color palette.

Building a palette of colors based on human color preferences

Systems and methods are described herein to generate visualizations associated with color palettes identified from keyword searches. Color palettes may include colors determined by human color preferences. Color palettes may be searched by name or other data associated with the color palettes based at least in part on text or audio data. Visualizations such as mood lighting and/or atmosphere colors may be based at least in part on the searched color palettes.

Generating visualizations from keyword searches of color palettes

Systems and methods are described herein to determine data associated with color palettes identified from keyword searches. Color palettes may be searched by name or other data associated with the color palettes. Color palettes may include colors determined by human color preferences and/or may be associated with human votes. Furthermore, color palettes may be filtered by trends and/or times of the color palettes. Various user interfaces may be based at least in part on the keyword searching and/or trending techniques for color palettes.

Identifying data from keyword searches of color palettes and color palette trends

Systems and methods are described herein to determine data, including color names, associated with color palettes identified from keyword searches. Color palettes may be searched by name or other data associated with the color palettes. Images and/or items may be retrieved based at least in part on the colors of the color palettes. Individual colors may be associated with color names based at least in part on human surveys and/or color names may be retrieved. Furthermore, the color names of individual colors may be retrieved based at least in part on a fast color search and/or associated with human votes. Various user interfaces may provide color palettes, images, and/or color names to users based at least in part on keyword searching of color palettes.

Determining color names from keyword searches of color palettes

Systems and methods are described herein to determine data associated with keyword searches of color palettes based at least in part on keyword trends. A keyword trend may include popular colors of color palettes associated with the keyword. Color palettes may be searched by name or other data associated with the color palettes. Furthermore, color palettes associated with a keyword may be filtered by color trends and/or keyword trends. The items and/or images associated with the filtered color palettes may be identified and presented to a user.
