Abstract
A method of creating an ensemble of visible color reference patches first adds a set of starting colors to a queue. The process then finds a candidate color within a color selection zone that is furthest away from colors existing in the queue. This candidate color is then selected by placing it in the queue. The steps of finding and selecting are repeated until a target number of selected colors is reached. The process then generates visible color patches of the selected colors for forming the ensemble.
Claims16
A method of creating an ensemble of visible color reference patches, comprising:
- adding a set of starting colors to a queue;
- finding a candidate color with a color selection zone that is furthest away from colors existing in the queue;
- selecting the candidate color by placing the candidate color in the queue;
- repeating the steps of finding and selecting until a target number of selected colors is reached;
- outputting the selected colors;
- and
- generating visible color patches corresponding to the selected colors for forming the ensemble of visible color reference patches.
A system for creating an ensemble of visible color reference patches, comprising:
- a color selection module programmed to select a list of reference colors by:
- adding a set of starting colors to a queue;
- finding a candidate color within a color selection zone that is furthest away from colors existing in the queue;
- selecting the candidate color by placing the candidate color in the queue;
- repeating the step of finding and selecting until a target number of selected colors is reached;
- outputting colors in the queue as the list of reference colors;
- and
- a device for generating visible color patches corresponding to the list of reference colors for forming the ensemble of visible color reference patches.
An ensemble of printed reference colors, comprising:
- a plurality of printed color patches, wherein colors of the printed color patches correspond to a list of reference colors selected from a color selection zone in a color space based on a void-filling color selection process.
