Systems and methods for interactive color selection with dynamic color changing leds

A method for color selection for an interactive lighting system, comprising:

• receiving, via a gesture receiver, a first touch point from a user interface, wherein the first touch point has a first initial location and a first current location;
• generating, via a color generator, a first color responsive to receiving the first touch point;
• receiving, via the gesture receiver, a second touch point from the user interface, wherein the second touch point has a second initial location and a second current location;
• generating, via the color generator, a second color responsive to receiving the second touch point, wherein the second color is based on the first color and a color optimizer;
• and
• generating, via the color mixer, a mixed color to be emitted by one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) of the interactive lighting system, wherein the mixed color is based on the first color, the second color, the first initial location, the first current location, the second initial location, and the second current location.
