1. A system comprising:
- a computing device having a touch screen, a display device, and a sensor device, the computing device having access to a database including a plurality of paint colors;
wherein the computing device is configured to receive a starting color for which coordinating colors are sought via the sensor device, to associate the starting color with a closest matching paint color in the database to the starting color, to determine a plurality of coordinating paint colors for the closest matching paint color based on data received from the database, to display on the display device a color palette including the closest matching paint color and the plurality of coordinating paint colors, to display a tutorial option that includes a plurality of video demonstrations, each video demonstration including how-to instructions for a painting project, and to receive a selection for a video demonstration from the plurality of video demonstrations.

Abstract
A color selection and coordination system including a database of predetermined color relationships implementing a data-driven color model. A starting color is associated with a first color in the color database. One or more predefined color palettes associated with the first color may be retrieved, each palette including one or more coordinating colors, the coordinating colors being predetermined based on the first color and a color coordination algorithm.
