First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-usable medium for facilitating computer-assisted creation of a customized postage item via computer-automated color replacement the computer-usable medium storing computer program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to execute a method comprising:
- providing a presentation of a postage item at a user interface on a display device associated with the computer system, the postage item comprising a region having a background and text over the background;
determining a user-indicated location within the postage item, the user-indicated location indicating a color to be applied to one of the background or the text;
selecting, based on the user-indicated location, a first color for the one of the background or the text;
selecting, without receiving a user indication of a color to be applied to the other one of the background or the text, a second color for the other one of the background or the text based on the second color having a predetermined threshold of contrast in color or brightness to the first color; and
causing modification of the presentation of the postage item at the user interface such that a prior color of the one of the background or the text is replaced with the first color and a prior color of the other one of the background or the text is replaced with the second color, the modification of the presentation of the postage item being caused without receiving a user indication of a color to be applied to the other one of the background or the text.

Abstract
The field of the invention relates to online postage systems, and more particularly to systems and methods for establishing the colors of a customized stamp purchased through an online postage system. In one embodiment, a method is employed for customizing the colors of a customized stamp having a panel and an image. The method includes the steps of enabling a user to select a region of the image, retrieving a color value corresponding to the region of the image, and applying the retrieved color value to a visual feature of the panel, such as the background and text of the panel. The method also maintains a minimum amount of contrast in brightness and color between the background and the text of the panel.
