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.

A method for harmonizing colors of an original image is disclosed. The method comprises: computing a saliency map of the original image, for each of a plurality of color harmonic schemes: determining a temporary harmonized image from the original image according to the current color harmonic scheme, computing a saliency map of the temporary harmonized image, comparing the saliency map of the original image and the saliency map of the temporary harmonized image, in order to obtain a saliency comparison result, computing a corrected color comparison result from colors of the original image, colors of the current color harmonic scheme and the saliency comparison result, selecting, as the harmonized image, the temporary harmonized image obtained with the color harmonic scheme minimizing the corrected color comparison result.

A method is described including displaying a user's body portion image on an optical display of a device employed by the user. The device may include an image sensor and the body portion image may be sensed by the sensor. The method includes determining whether a position of the body portion image relative to the sensor is acceptable to allow for recording of the body portion image; determining whether a lighting environment associated with the sensor is acceptable to allow for recording of the body portion image; recording the image using the sensor to provide a recorded image having image data; processing the recorded image to determine lighting model data associated with the lighting environment; and determining reflectance and color characteristics associated with the body portion based on the recorded image and the lighting model data. In one embodiment the optical display has an illuminant and when the lighting environment is not acceptable for recording, the method instructs the user to modify the lighting environment so that illumination of the body portion is less than about 2% of the illumination provided by the illuminant, illuminates the body portion with constant white light using the illuminant and determines whether the illuminated body portion is positioned relative to the sensor to allow for recording of the body portion image by displaying an outline of the body portion on the optical display to position the body portion in view of the sensor. Processing of the image in this case may include direct computation to determine the lighting model.

An embodiment may involve obtaining a three-dimensional color model containing hue, lightness, and chroma dimensions. The color model may represent each of at least one thousand distinct colors as unique points within the hue, lightness, and chroma dimensions. The embodiment may involve displaying, in accordance with the color model, a rotatable three-dimensional representation of the unique points. The embodiment may further involve receiving a selection of a first point of the unique points and a selection of a second point of the unique points. The embodiment may involve, in response to receiving the selection of the first point and the selection of the second point, displaying, in accordance with the color model, a rotatable three-dimensional representation of the first point, the second point, a line connecting the first point and the second point, and a subset of the unique points that are within a particular radius of the line.

A method is disclosed wherein data representative of a plurality of colors defined in a color space is received, the plurality of colors providing a color palette taken to be related to each other by predefined color harmony rules based on their relative positions in the color space. An irreproducible color of the color palette outside a rendering system's reproducible color gamut is determined, the reproducible color gamut having been received for a rendering system on which image data comprising colors of the color palette is to be reproduced. A suggested color for a replacement color palette also complying with the predefined color harmony rules is determined based on the reproducible color gamut to bring the color palette towards being within the rendering system's reproducible color gamut.

Presented are computing systems and control logic for provisioning quantitative color analysis to derive color harmony, devices for executing such logic, and methods for operating such systems/devices. A method of analyzing color selections to generate matching colors includes transmitting, via a server computer over a distributed computing network to a user's personal computing device, multiple user-selectable colors organized as discrete hues distributed over a human-perceivable visible spectrum. The server computer receives the user's selection(s) from the user-selectable colors, which includes one or more of the discrete hues. These selection(s) is/are imported into a device-independent, three-axis color space model; a geometric object characterized by the mathematical golden ratio is built into the color space model. The server computer generates a list of colors harmonized with the user-selected color(s) by correlating the geometric object with the discrete hue(s) in the color space model. The user's personal computing device displays the harmonized colors.

A fixture assembly includes a first rail, a second rail coupled to the first rail, a first mount configured to support a first panel, a column coupled to the second rail, and a second mount movably coupled to the column. The first mount is movably coupled to the first rail to allow the first mount to move along the first rail in a first direction. The fixture assembly further includes a first servomotor coupled to the first mount to allow the first mount to rotate about a first axis. The fixture further includes a second servomotor coupled to the second mount to allow the second mount to rotate about a second axis. The fixture assembly includes a controller programmed to control the first servomotor and the second servomotor.
