SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION BASED ON COLOR
A system for providing a product recommendation based on color includes a computer processor and a memory device. The memory device stores at least one piece of computer code executable by the computers processor and data used by the computer code. The computer code includes a determination module, an identification module, and a presentation module. The determination module determines a color of interest from one pixel. The identification module identifies a product from a predetermined list of products based on the color of interest. The presentation module presents an identifier of the product via a user interface.

a plurality of preselected images, or
a photographic image captured via a camera resident on a mobile device.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the image is an image of an object.
4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the image is a photographic image.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the identification module identifies the product by identifying, based on a predetermined mathematical color model, the product in the predetermined list of products that has a color that is most similar to the color of interest.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the identification module identifies the product by identifying, based on a predetermined mathematical color model, the product in the predetermined list of products that has a color that is complementary to the color of interest.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the identifier of the product includes any one or a combination of:
a name of the product,
a name of a color of the product, and
a pre-stored image of the product.
8 . A method for providing a product recommendation based on color, the method comprising steps of:
determining a color of interest from one pixel of a digital image;
using a computer processor to identify a product from a predetermined list of products based on the color of interest; and
displaying an identifier of the product via a user interface of a display device.
9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising steps of
enabling a user to select the pixel from an image having a plurality of pixels; and
enabling the user to select the image from:
a plurality of preselected images, or
a photographic image captured via a camera resident on a mobile device.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the image is an image of an object.
11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the image is a photographic image.
12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the identifying the product includes identifying, based on a predetermined mathematical color model, the product in the predetermined list of products that has a color that is most similar to the color of interest.
13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the identifying the product includes identifying, based on a predetermined mathematical color model, the product in the predetermined list of products that has a color that is complementary to the color of interest.
14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the identifier of the product includes any one or a combination of:
a name of the product,
a name of a color of the product, and
a pre-stored image of the product.
15 . A computer-readable storage medium storing an application, resident on a mobile device, for providing a product recommendation based on color, the application comprising:
computer code executable by a computer processor,
wherein the computer code includes:
a determination module that determines a color of interest from one pixel,
an identification module that identifies a product from a predetermined list of products based on the color of interest, and
a presentation module that presents an identifier of the product via a user interface.
16 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the computer code further includes:
a pixel selection module that enables a user to select the pixel from an image having a plurality of pixels,
an image selection module that enables a user to select the image from:
a plurality of preselected images, or
a photographic image captured via a camera resident on a mobile device.
17 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the image is an image of an object.
18 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the image is a photographic image.
19 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the identification module identifies the product by identifying, based on a predetermined mathematical color model, the product in the predetermined list of products that has a color that is most similar to the color of interest.
20 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the identification module identifies the product by identifying, based on a predetermined mathematical color model, the product in the predetermined list of products that has a color that is complementary to the color of interest.
21 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the identifier of the product includes any one or a combination of:
a name of the product,
a name of a color of the product, and
a pre-stored image of the product.
22 . A system for providing a product recommendation based on color, the system comprising:
a computer processor; and
a memory device accessible by the computer processor and storing at least one of:
computer code executable by the computer processor, and
data used by the computer code,
wherein the computer code includes:
a color input module that enables a user to input a color of interest via one or more sliding user interface elements;
an identification module that identifies a product from a predetermined list of products based on the color of interest, and
a presentation module that presents an identifier of the product via a user interface.
