First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of determining an acceptability of a proposed color solution for an item using a computer and an artificial intelligence model, said method comprising the steps of:
- determining actual color values associated with the item;
inputting the actual color values into the computer;
determining the proposed color solution and associated second color values;
calculating the differences between the actual color values and the second color values by utilizing the computer to define differential color values;
inputting the actual color values and the differential color values into the artificial intelligence model;
determining if the proposed color solution is acceptable by utilizing the artificial intelligence model; and
producing an output indicative of the acceptability of the proposed color solution.

Abstract
A method for determining if a proposed color solution, such as paint, pigments, or dye formulations, is acceptable, is provided. The inputs to the system are the actual color values of an item, differential color values, a proposed color solution, and second color values associated with the proposed color solution. The system includes an artificial intelligence model to analyze the inputs and produce an output for communicating whether the proposed color solution is acceptable. The artificial intelligence model may be embodied in a neural network.
