Abstract

The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for extracting colors from a live camera feed and applying the extracted colors to a user'"'"'s input digital design. For example, in response to the user targeting the camera of a client-computing device at a fixed position for a threshold amount of time, one or more embodiments described herein extracts a palette of dominant colors from the live camera feed and maps the palette of dominant colors onto one or more colors of the user'"'"'s input digital design in real time.

Claims

1. A method for creating a color palette based on a live camera feed comprising:

receiving a selection of an input digital design;

providing a display of the input digital design in a first portion of a user interface;

capturing a live camera feed and displaying the live camera feed in a second portion of the user interface;

extracting one or more colors from the live camera feed;

creating a color palette based on the extracted one or more colors from the live camera stream; and

applying the color palette to the received input digital design.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

detecting a change in the live camera feed;

extracting one or more colors from the changed live camera feed;

creating an updated color palette based on the extracted one or more colors from the changed live camera feed;

applying the updated color palette to the input digital design.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein capturing a live camera feed comprises capturing the live camera feed from a camera of a computing device.

4. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein extracting one or more colors from the live camera feed comprises:

determining that the live camera feed has not changed for a predetermined amount of time;

identifying all colors present in the live camera feed after the predetermined amount of time;

assigning a score to each color present in the live camera feed;

identifying the highest scoring colors of the colors present in the live camera feed.

5. The method as recited in claim 4, further comprising assigning a score to each extracted one or more colors present from the live camera feed, wherein assigning a score comprises:

for each color present in the live camera feed;

determining what percentage of the live camera feed is taken up by the color;

calculating a score for the color based on the determined percentage.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein creating a color palette based on the extracted one or more colors comprises:

creating a color palette of the one or more of the extracted one or more colors;

determining whether any of the extracted one or more colors causes a loss of contrast when included in the input digital design;

exchanging any of the extracted one or more colors that cause a loss of contrast with one or more additional colors that preserve contrast when included in the input digital design.

7. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein applying the color palette to the input digital design comprises:

identifying one or more colors within the input digital design;

determining what percentage of the input digital design is taken up by each of the identified one or more colors.

8. The method as recited in claim 7, wherein applying the color palette to the input digital design further comprises applying the color palette to the input digital design based on the determined percentages for the one or more colors within the input digital design and determined percentages for the one or more colors in the live camera feed.

9. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising automatically adjusting the color palette based on one or more colors of the received input digital design to preserve legibility and contrast.

10. In a digital medium environment for editing digital images, a method for creating a custom color palette based on a live camera feed comprising:

determining a camera viewfinder capturing a live camera feed from a camera associated with a computing device has remained targeted at a fixed position for a threshold amount of time;

identifying, in response to determining the camera viewfinder has remained targeted at the fixed position for the threshold amount of time, a plurality of dominant colors in the live camera feed;

presenting, in real time, an indication of each of the plurality of dominant colors in the camera viewfinder;

applying, in real time, the plurality of dominant colors to an input digital design;

identifying an interaction moving an indication of a dominant colors;

altering the dominant colors associated with the moved indication; and

applying, in real time, the altered dominant colors to the input digital design.

11. The method as recited in claim 10, wherein determining a camera viewfinder has remained targeted at a fixed position for a threshold amount of time comprises:

capturing images from the live camera feed at fixed intervals within the threshold amount of time;

comparing each captured image to an immediately preceding captured image;

determining, based on the comparison, that two or more captured images are similar within a threshold level.

12. The method as recited in claim 11, wherein identifying a plurality of dominant colors in the live camera feed comprises:

identifying all colors present in a representative image taken from the live camera feed during the threshold amount of time;

assigning a score to each color present in the representative image;

identifying the highest scoring colors of the colors present in the representative image.

13. The method as recited in claim 12, wherein assigning a score to each color present in the representative image comprises:

for each color present in the representative image;

determining what percentage of the representative image is taken up by the color;

calculating a score for the color based on the determined percentage.

14. The method as recited in claim 13, further comprising creating a color palette based on the colors present in the representative image.

15. The method as recited in claim 14, wherein creating a color palette comprises:

identifying one or more highest scoring colors present in the representative image;

creating a color palette, wherein the color palette is based on the highest scoring colors of the colors present in the representative image.

16. The method as recited in claim 15, wherein applying, in real time, the plurality of dominant colors to the input digital design comprises:

identifying one or more page items within the input digital design;

determining what percentage of the of the input digital design is taken up by each of the identified page items.

17. The method as recited in claim 16, wherein applying, in real time, the plurality of dominant colors to the input digital design further comprises:

determining what percentage of the representative image is taken up by each of the one or more highest scoring colors in the color palette;

mapping one or more page items of the input digital design to the one or more page highest scoring colors in the color palette based on the determined percentages for the one or more page items of the input digital design and the determined percentages for the one or more highest scoring colors in the representative image.

18. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to;

receive a selection of an input digital design;

provide a display of the input digital design in a first portion of a user interface;

capture a live camera feed and display the live camera feed in a second portion of the user interface;

extract one or more colors from the live camera feed;

create a color palette based on the extracted one or more colors from the live camera stream;

apply the color palette to the received input digital design.

19. The system as recited in claim 18, wherein extracting one or more colors from the live camera feed comprises:

determining that the live camera feed has not changed for a predetermined amount of time;

identifying all colors present in the live camera feed after the predetermined amount of time;

assigning a score to each color present in the live camera feed;

identifying the highest scoring colors of the colors present in the live camera feed.

20. The system as recited in claim 19, wherein assigning a score to each color present in the live camera feed comprises:

for each color present in the live camera feed;

determining what percentage of the live camera feed is taken up by the color;

calculating a score for the color based on the determined percentage.
