1. A system comprising:
- a memory to store instructions and initial color representations; and
a processor to execute the instructions in the memory to;
reference a database having a set of lexical color classifiers;
transform each of at least a pair of initial color representations to color values associated with the set of lexical color classifiers; and
generate a color similarity measurement related to the at least a pair of initial color representations based on the color values associated with the set of lexical color classifiers,wherein each of the initial color representations has an initial color attribute value that is transformed into lexical color attribute values for each of the lexical color classifiers andwherein the initial color attribute values have n number of color dimensions and the set of lexical color classifiers have m number of color dimensions, wherein n is less than m.

Abstract
A system including a memory to store instructions and initial color representations and a processor to execute the instructions in the memory to reference a database having a set of lexical color classifiers, transform each of at least a pair of initial color representations to color values associated with the set of lexical color classifiers, and generate a relative similarity measure related to the at least a pair of initial color representations based on the color values associated with the set of lexical color classifiers.

6. A method of measuring color similarity comprising:
-
receiving an initial color representation for each of at least a pair of image elements; selecting a set of lexical color classifiers; transforming each of the initial color representations to the set of lexical color classifiers, wherein each of the initial color representations has an associated numeric initial color attribute value transformed into a color value for each of the set of lexical color classifiers and wherein the initial color attribute values have n number of color dimensions and the set of lexical color classifiers have m number of color dimensions, wherein n is less than m; comparing the initial color representations of the at least pair of color images based on the set of lexical color classifiers; and generating a relative similarity measurement of the compared initial color representations. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions for controlling a computer to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving at least a pair of initial color representations; selecting a set of lexical color classifiers; transforming each of the at least a pair of initial color representations into values within the set of lexical color classifiers, wherein each of the initial color has an initial color attribute value that is transformed into lexical color attribute values for each of the lexical color classifiers and wherein the initial color attribute values have n number of color dimensions and the set of lexical color classifiers have m number of color dimensions, wherein n is less than m; calculating color similarity based on values within the set of lexical color classifiers; and generating a relative similarity measurement of the at least a pair of initial color representations. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
