Automatic image-based recommendations using a color palette

A computer-implemented method for creating a custom color palette, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• under control of a hardware computing device configured with specific computer-executable instructions,
• obtaining a color name from a user,
• obtaining a custom palette criterion for creating a custom palette;
• determining a first color corresponding to the color name based, at least in part, on the custom palette criterion, wherein determining the first color corresponding to the color name is further based, at least in part, on a relationship between a plurality of color names and a plurality of colors in accordance with the custom palette criterion;
• including the first color in the custom palette;
• obtaining a plurality of affiliated palettes, wherein each affiliated palette of the plurality of affiliated palettes includes a color corresponding to the first color;
• identifying a second color based, at least in part, on the custom palette criterion and on the plurality of affiliated palettes, wherein at least a subset of the plurality of affiliated palettes includes a color corresponding to the second color;
• including the second color in the custom palette;
• and
• providing the custom palette to the user.
