1. A computer-implemented method for normalizing a digital image into a universal digital color system, comprising the steps of:

  • obtaining a digital image of a color swatch by a client device associated with a user;

    converting the digital image into a RGB color image of the color swatch by a processor of the client device;

    normalizing RGB colors of the color swatch by;

    segmenting the RGB color image of the color swatch into a plurality of segments by the processor of the client device;

    analyzing each segment to determine a dominant color for said each segment by the processor of the client device;

    determining at least one dominant color for the color swatch based on prevalence of said at least one dominant color in said each segment by the processor of the client device; and

    assigning a hexadecimal code of the universal color system to the color swatch that is closest to a digital hexadecimal value of the RGB image of the color swatch based on color component intensity values of said at least one dominant color of the color swatch by the processor of the client device; and

    storing the digital image of the color swatch, the RGB image of the color swatch, said at least one dominant color for the color swatch, and the hexadecimal code assigned to the color swatch in a memory of the client device.
