Personalizing colors of user interfaces

A computer implemented method performed by one or more processors, comprising:

• providing an avatar editing environment associated with a user;
• receiving user input through the avatar editing environment, the user input specifying one or more colors associated with one or more constituent elements of the avatar;
• creating a color profile of the avatar based on the one or more colors associated with the one or more constituent elements of the avatar;
• executing a software application associated with a color scheme, wherein one or more user interface elements displayed by executing the software application include default colors defined by the color scheme;
• obtaining, from the avatar editing environment, a color profile of the avatar which is a representation of the user within the software application;
• and
• customizing a first color scheme associated with the software application by modifying a default color of a user interface element displayed by executing the software application based on the color profile of the user's avatar, the user interface element different from the avatar, wherein modifying the default color of the user interface element based on the color profile of the user's avatar comprises rendering the user interface element in a combination of the default color and a color in the avatar.

A system for creating a customized color scheme for a software application environment, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations, comprising:
• providing an avatar editing environment associated with a user;
• receiving user input through the avatar editing environment, the user input specifying a plurality of colors associated with a respective plurality of constituent elements of the avatar;
• creating a color profile of the avatar based on the plurality of colors associated with the respective plurality of constituent elements of the avatar;
• executing a software application associated with a color scheme, wherein one or more user interface elements displayed by executing the software application include default colors defined by the color scheme;
• and
• customizing a color scheme associated with the software application by modifying a default color of a user interface element displayed by executing the software application based on the color profile of the user's avatar, the user interface element different from the avatar, wherein modifying the default color of the user interface element based on the color profile of the user's avatar comprises rendering the user interface element in a combination of the default color and a color in the avatar.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations, comprising:

• executing a software application associated with a color scheme, wherein one or more user interface elements displayed by executing the software application include default colors defined by the color scheme;
• obtaining, from an avatar editing environment, a color profile of an avatar associated with a user, the avatar developed in the avatar editing environment, the avatar being a representation of the user within the software application, the color profile specifying a plurality of colors associated with a respective plurality of constituent elements of the avatar;
• and
• customizing the color scheme associated with the software application by modifying a default color of a user interface element displayed by executing the software application based on the color profile of the user's avatar, the user interface element different from the avatar, wherein modifying the default color of the user interface element based on the color profile of the user's avatar comprises rendering the user interface element in a combination of the default color and a color in the avatar.
