System and Method of Determining Colors of a User Interface

A method, comprising:

• determining a plurality of most utilized colors of an image;
• determining a plurality of lightness values respectively associated with the plurality of most utilized colors of the image;
• determining a plurality of saturation values respectively associated with the plurality of most utilized colors of the image and respectively associated with the plurality of lightness values;
• in response to determining that i) a lightness value of the plurality of lightness values is within a range of lightness values and that ii) a saturation value respectively associated with the lightness value is above a threshold value:
• determining a color of the plurality of most utilized colors of the image that is associated with the lightness value of the plurality of lightness values within the range of lightness values and with the saturation value respectively associated with the lightness value as a dominant color;
• in response to determining that i) the lightness value of the plurality of lightness values is not within the range of lightness values or that ii) the saturation value respectively associated with the lightness value is not above the threshold value:
• determine a mean color from the plurality of most utilized colors of the image as the dominant color;
• repeatedly darkening the dominant color by an amount until a ratio between a relative luminance value of a foreground color and a relative luminance value of the dominant color is within a range of a target ratio, including:
• i) modifying the relative luminance value of the foreground color by adding a first constant to the relative luminance value of the foreground color;
• ii) modifying the relative luminance value of the dominant color by adding a second constant to the relative luminance value of the dominant color;
• and
• utilizing the dominant color as a background color.

A computer-readable non-transitory memory medium that includes instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an information handling system, cause the information handling system to:

• determine a plurality of most utilized colors of an image;
• determine a plurality of lightness values respectively associated with the plurality of most utilized colors of the image;
• determine a plurality of saturation values respectively associated with the plurality of most utilized colors of the image and respectively associated with the plurality of lightness values;
• in response to determining that i) a lightness value of the plurality of lightness values is within a range of lightness values and that ii) a saturation value respectively associated with the lightness value is above a threshold value:
• determine a color of the plurality of most utilized colors of the image that is associated with the lightness value of the plurality of lightness values within the range of lightness values and with the saturation value respectively associated with the lightness value as a dominant color;
• in response to determining that i) the lightness value of the plurality of lightness values is not within the range of lightness values or that ii) the saturation value respectively associated with the lightness value is not above the threshold value:
