Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of customizing a user design project, the method comprising: developing a compatibility profile for the user based on a set of inputs from the user for a set of preselected topics associated with the design project, wherein developing the compatibility profile comprises determining a color tolerance of the user for the design project, the color tolerance describing the user's ability or willingness to use a variety of colors for the design project and represented by at least one of saturation of color within the design project and quantity of different colors within the design project; determining one or more lighting sources for the design project responsive to the user's compatibility profile, the one or more lighting sources being determined based on at least one of a geographic location of the design project and a direction of exposure of the design project; influencing, by a computer processor, the determined color tolerance for the user responsive to the one or more lighting sources for the design project by adjusting the color tolerance for the user to account for an influence of a determined lighting source on an undertone of a color; selecting a palette of potential colors for the design project responsive to the influenced color tolerance in the user's compatibility profile; deriving a signature color palette for the design project responsive to the palette of potential colors; and storing the signature color palette and compatibility profile in association with the design project.
