Abstract

Systems and methods of the present disclosure include a server configured to provide an application to a remote computing device. The application is configured to display color sheen chips that represent a paint sheen on a display of the remote computing device and to receive input to control a cursor displayed on the display. The application is further configured to enlarge a particular color sheen chip on the display in response to the cursor being controlled to hover over the particular color sheen chip and to pivot the particular color sheen chip on the display about a central axis of the particular color sheen chip in response to the cursor being controlled to move back and forth over the particular color sheen chip to enhance displayed characteristics of the paint sheen associated with the particular color sheen chip.

Claims (27)

1. A system comprising:

a server configured to provide an application to a remote computing device having a display, the application being configured to (i) display a plurality of color sheen chips on the display of the remote computing device, each color sheen chip representing a paint sheen, (ii) receive input to control a cursor displayed on the display, (iii) enlarge a particular color sheen chip of the plurality of color sheen chips on the display in response to the cursor of the remote computing device being controlled to hover over the particular color sheen chip on the display, and (iv) pivot the particular color sheen chip on the display about a central axis of the particular color sheen chip in response to the cursor of the remote computing device being controlled to move back and forth over the particular color sheen chip to enhance displayed characteristics of the paint sheen associated with the particular color sheen chip.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of color sheen chips each represent an interior paint sheen.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of color sheen chips each represent an exterior paint sheen.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of color sheen chips include at least one of a flat sheen, a flat enamel sheen, an eggshell sheen, a satin sheen, a sateen lustre sheen, a semi-gloss sheen, and a hi-gloss sheen.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application is further configured to display on the display a project image including at least one hot spot with an attention-drawing animation feature.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the application is further configured to display on the display at least one color name when the at least one hot spot is selected.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the application is further configured to display on the display a color summary menu that includes a listing of a plurality of different colors included in the project image.

8. A method comprising:

providing, with a server, an application to a remote computing device having a display, the application being configured to (i) display a plurality of color sheen chips on the display of the remote computing device, each color sheen chip representing a paint sheen, (ii) receive input to control a cursor displayed on the display, (iii) enlarge a particular color sheen chip of the plurality of color sheen chips on the display in response to the cursor of the remote computing device being controlled to hover over the particular color sheen chip on the display, and (iv) pivot the particular color sheen chip on the display about a central axis of the particular color sheen chip in response to the cursor of the remote computing device being controlled to move back and forth over the particular color sheen chip to enhance displayed characteristics of the paint sheen associated with the particular color sheen chip.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of color sheen chips each represent an interior paint sheen.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of color sheen chips each represent an exterior paint sheen.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of color sheen chips include at least one of a flat sheen, a flat enamel sheen, an eggshell sheen, a satin sheen, a sateen lustre sheen, a semi-gloss sheen, and a hi-gloss sheen.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the application is further configured to display on the display a project image including at least one hot spot with an attention-drawing animation feature.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the application is further configured to display on the display at least one color name when the at least one hot spot is selected.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the application is further configured to display on the display a color summary menu that includes a listing of a plurality of different colors included in the project image.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a computing device having a display, the instructions including:

displaying a plurality of color sheen chips on the display of the computing device, each color sheen chip representing a paint sheen;

receiving input to control a cursor displayed on the display;

enlarging a particular color sheen chip of the plurality of color sheen chips on the display in response to the cursor of the computing device being controlled to hover over the particular color sheen chip on the display; and

pivoting the particular color sheen chip on the display about a central axis of the particular color sheen chip in response to the cursor of the computing device being controlled to move back and forth over the particular color sheen chip to enhance displayed characteristics of the paint sheen associated with the particular color sheen chip.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of color sheen chips each represent an interior paint sheen.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of color sheen chips each represent an exterior paint sheen.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of color sheen chips include at least one of a flat sheen, a flat enamel sheen, an eggshell sheen, a satin sheen, a sateen lustre sheen, a semi-gloss sheen, and a hi-gloss sheen.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , the instructions further comprising displaying on the display a project image including at least one hot spot with an attention-drawing animation feature.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , the instructions further comprising displaying on the display at least one color name when the at least one hot spot is selected.

21. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 20 , the instructions further comprising displaying on the display a color summary menu that includes a listing of a plurality of different colors included in the project image.
