Abstract
A method for determining a coloration product recommendation, in particular a hair coloration product recommendation. First images representing an object colored using a coloration product are obtained. A color of the colored object is identified on the images by determining a global color value taking into account different elements within the image. Then a desired color is obtained. A recommendation for a coloration product to achieve the desired color is determined. The recommended coloration product corresponds to the product which keeps the color difference between the desired color and the identified color below a predetermined threshold.
