Dynamic display of a harmony rule list
View Patent ↗Display of a harmony rule list is disclosed, including obtaining at least one base color and two or more color harmony rules; for each color harmony rule, computing a derived set of colors based on the at least one base color and the color harmony rule, resulting in two or more derived sets of colors; and simultaneously displaying the derived sets of colors for the two or more color harmony rules.
1. A method, including:
obtaining at least one base color and two or more color harmony rules;
for each color harmony rule, computing, using a processor, a derived set of colors based at least in part on the at least one base color and the color harmony rule, resulting in two or more derived sets of colors;
simultaneously displaying the derived sets of colors for the two or more color harmony rules in a pull down menu included in a user interface, including by displaying each of the derived set of colors applied to an artwork; and
receiving, via the user interface, a selection of one of the two or more color harmony rules based on the display.
2. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the two or more color harmony rules include all color harmony rules available.
3. A method as recited in claim 1 , further including obtaining two or more values of a rule specific input.
4. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein computing is performed for each combination of color harmony rule and value of a rule specific input, if applicable.
5. A method as recited in claim 1 , further including analyzing input artwork to determine the at least one base color.
6. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein displaying includes displaying for selection.
7. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein displaying includes displaying the derived sets of colors in boxes.
8. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein displaying includes displaying each of the derived sets of colors adjacent to its corresponding color harmony rule name.
9. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of the two or more color harmony rules includes a discrete and finite set of two or more elements having fixed relationships with each other and each of the two or more derived set of colors includes a discrete and finite set of two or more colors.
10. A method as recited in claim 9 , further including analyzing input artwork to determine a value for a rule specific input.
11. A method as recited in claim 9 , further including analyzing input artwork to determine a color harmony rule.
12. A method as recited in claim 9 , wherein at least one of the two or more color harmony rules is a user-defined harmony rule.
13. A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
obtaining at least one base color and two or more color harmony rules;
for each color harmony rule, computing a derived set of colors based at least in part on the at least one base color and the color harmony rule, resulting in two or more derived sets of colors;
simultaneously displaying the derived sets of colors for the two or more color harmony rules in a pull down menu included in a user interface, including by displaying each of the derived set of colors applied to an artwork; and
receiving, via the user interface, a selection of one of the two or more color harmony rules based on the display.
14. A computer program product as recited in claim 13 , wherein the two or more color harmony rules include all color harmony rules available.
15. A computer program product as recited in claim 13 , further including obtaining two or more values of a rule specific input.
16. A computer program product as recited in claim 13 , wherein computing is performed for each combination of color harmony rule and value of a rule specific input, if applicable.
17. A computer program product as recited in claim 13 , wherein each of the two or more color harmony rules includes a discrete and finite set of two or more elements having fixed relationships with each other and each of the two or more derived set of colors includes a discrete and finite set of two or more colors.
18. A computer program product as recited in claim 17 , wherein at least one of the two or more color harmony rules is a user-defined harmony rule.
19. A system, including:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to:
obtain at least one base color and two or more color harmony rules;
for each color harmony rule, compute a derived set of colors based at least in part on the at least one base color and the color harmony rule, resulting in two or more derived sets of colors;
simultaneously display the derived sets of colors for the two or more color harmony rules in a pull down menu included in a user interface, including by displaying each of the derived set of colors applied to an artwork; and
receiving, via the user interface, a selection of one of the two or more color harmony rules based on the display.
20. A system as recited in claim 19 , wherein the two or more color harmony rules include all color harmony rules available.
21. A system as recited in claim 19 , wherein the memory is further configured to obtain two or more values of a rule specific input.
22. A system as recited in claim 19 , wherein the memory is configured to compute the derived set of colors for each combination of color harmony rule and value of a rule specific input, if applicable.
23. A system as recited in claim 19 , wherein each of the two or more color harmony rules includes a discrete and finite set of two or more elements having fixed relationships with each other and each of the two or more derived set of colors includes a discrete and finite set of two or more colors.
24. A system as recited in claim 23 , wherein at least one of the two or more color harmony rules is a user-defined harmony rule.
