COLOUR SELECTION SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G09G5/02 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: computer implemented method for assisting in colour selection involves associating, depending on a mathematical equation derived from measurements of psycho-physical responses of a certain set of test subjects to a first set of control colours, a colour emotion score with each of a second set of colours that are numerically defined in a colour library; displaying on a visual user interface a combination of at least three colours from the colour library; displaying on the visual user interface the combined colour emotion score for said combination of colours; the combined colour emotion score is calculated using a controller as follows: (a) calculating for each unique colour combination pair of adjacent colours the colour emotion score of a pair of adjacent colours using a first equation depending on the colour emotion score of each colour of the pair of adjacent colours; (b) calculating for each unique colour combination pair of non-adjacent colours the colour emotion score of a pair of non-adjacent colours using a second equation depending on the colour emotion score of each colour of the pair of non-adjacent colours; (c) wherein the combined colour emotion score = 1/n (Σ colour emotion score of the pair of adjacent colours + Σ colour emotion score of the pair of non-adjacent colours), where n is the total number of unique pairs of adjacent and non-adjacent colours of the colour combination.

EFFECT: facilitating colour selection using a controller without the need for the user to select a primary colour.
