How it works

Step 1

Dominant colors with weights are extracted from images. As part of the analysis our engine performs automatic background detection and removal. The end results may look like this:

[{
  "Color": "8EBD65",
  "Name": "pistachio",
  "Weight": 12.0
},
{
  "Color": "BBD4E1",
  "Name": "soft blue",
  "Weight": 29.0
},
{
  "Color": "EDF0EA",
  "Name": "white smoke",
  "Weight": 59.0
}]

Step 2

End user submit a search request. Our Search plugin parses the search query and returns matching images. It understands more than 350 color names as well as RGB codes.

Our Ranking plugin computes a color search score that can be used directly or in combination with other factors to sort the results.
