Method for selecting an elastic venous restraint orthosis intended to be slipped onto a lower limb of a patient. Acquisition of a photograph representing the skin of the limb and a calibration map including one or more calibration zones. The calibration map is placed on the limb in a position termed the “acquisition position.” Calibration of the photograph by the calibration zone or zones, in such a way that the representation of the skin on the photograph exhibits a calibrated colour. Selection, as a function of the calibrated colour, by computer and from a set of colours of a tone chart, of a tone chart colour, preferably of the tone chart colour closest to the calibrated colour, termed the “optimal colour,” and then determination, by computer, of an orthosis colour as a function of the tone chart colour selected. Selection of an orthosis exhibiting the orthosis colour.

A transmission type color gradation chart comprising: a color chart member including at least one color bar wherein transmitted light exhibits chromatic color; and a gray gradation chart member wherein transmitted light exhibits achromatic color, and includes a plurality of transmission regions with different brightness, wherein the color chart member and the gray gradation chart member are stacked so that there is a duplicative transmission region wherein the color bar and the plurality of transmission regions overlap in planar view.

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.

A system includes a shelving mechanism having a first surface, a second surface, a tab channel adjacent to the second surface, and a pair of supports. The pair of supports is disposed between an opening defined by the first surface and the second surface. The tab channel is defined by a first tab surface and a second tab surface. The first tab surface and the second tab surface are nonparallel to the second surface. The first tab surface includes a first locking portion and the second tab surface includes a second locking portion. A light-emitting diode (LED) array is slidably disposed on the pair of supports and a divider tab snaps into engagement with the tab channel. The divider tab is configured to illuminate in response to receiving light from the LED array.

The disclosure is related to a décor harmony service (DHS) that facilitates mapping of colors from a color palette to decor accessories in a setting, e.g., a room, such that the décor accessories, when arranged together, appear harmonious to a user. For example, using harmony-distribution rules, the DHS maps a set of décor accessories occupying “60%” of the area of a room to a main color of a color palette, a second set of décor accessories occupying “30%” to a feature color and a third set of décor accessories occupying “10%” to an accent color. The DHS generates a representation of the room, e.g., an image of the room, with the décor accessories having the assigned colors. The DHS facilitates a user to use the generated image for finding and purchasing décor products that match with a décor accessory in the generated image.

An automatic tag identification system identifies tags for color themes, a color theme referring to a set of multiple colors that work well together to create (e.g., are visually appropriate for creating) a desired effect, and a tag referring to one or more words that describe a color theme. The automatic tag identification system receives an indication of the multiple colors (e.g., five colors) for a color theme. A first machine learning system uses the indicated multiple colors to generate a color theme embedding for the color theme, which is a vector encoding or embedding of the color theme. The second machine learning system uses the color theme embedding generated by the first machine learning system to generate one or more tags that label the color theme. These one or more tags can then be saved as associated with or corresponding to the multiple colors for the color theme.

Systems and methods are disclosed and include a light-emitting diode (LED) array with LEDs associated with respective paint color chip locations of a display assembly. A processor receives a first signal indicating first paint color chip locations and determines whether a second signal is received from a second device within a threshold time, the second signal indicating second paint color chip locations. The processor assigns a first lighting characteristic to the first device and a second lighting characteristic to the second device, identifies a first set of LEDs associated with the first paint color chip locations and a second set of LEDs associated with the second paint color chip locations, and transmits an activation signal to the LED control circuit to activate the first set of LEDs based on the first lighting characteristic and the second set of LEDs based on the second lighting characteristic.

A Method and Apparatus for Comparing Colors have been disclosed. In one implementation a compliant membrane which is substantially transparent with an area having a shade/color is placed on the user's skin to see what the shade/color will look like on the skin. In one implementation a compliant substrate which is largely transparent with an area having a shade/color is placed on an inanimate object to see how the shade/color will appear on the inanimate object without the substrate itself causing an unnecessary barrier between the inanimate object and the shade/color.

A system for providing a product, such as a lipstick, the color of which is chosen by a subject. The system includes a viewing device for showing a subject or an object for which the color is chosen, a color palette from which the subject can choose a color, and a link to a production center for creating the product according to the choice of the subject. The system also includes a color-modifying device for modifying the color chosen by the subject.
