Abstract

Generally, the present invention provides embodiments of systems and methods for extrapolating formats to create pleasing format templates. In an exemplary embodiment, a method for creating a color template for a document comprises receiving at least one color for the document. Then, the colors received become constraints of at least one document parameter. A color template is then selected and automatically applied to the constrained document parameters to extrapolate one or more other colors for the unset color parameters. Finally, the color template with the extrapolated colors is provided with the received colors and the extrapolated colors.
