Abstract
A color selection and coordination system including a database of predetermined color relationships for providing one or more combinations of complementary colors for the desired starting color based on color theory and expert input. One implementation of the invention provides a kiosk with a display device, an input device, and a processing unit configured to receive a starting color via the input device, determine one or more complementary colors for the starting color, and provide one or more color combinations via the display device, each color combination including the starting color and one or more of the complementary colors.
