Abstract: Systems and methods for color selection are provided. A web server stores a lookup table that associates room types and types of feelings with paint colors such that each possible combination of room type and type of feeling is associated with a subset of paint colors. A user device displays the room types, receives a room type selection indicating a particular room type, displays the types of feelings, receives a type of feeling selection indicating a particular type of feeling, accesses the lookup table and determines the associated subset of paint colors in the lookup table for the combination of the particular room type and the particular type of feeling, and displays the associated subset of paint colors as recommended paint colors for the combination of the particular room type and the particular type of feeling on the display of the user device.

Abstract: A website provides a paint product ordering application to a number of retail stores which enables generation of a single interactive web page having a paint product selection panel and an adjacent shopping cart panel, the web page allowing a user to quickly and easily generate successive paint product orders and successively transfer those orders quickly and easily to the shopping cart panel.

Abstract: A method for a user to paint an image includes generating a display of a room image uploaded by the user. The method also includes employing a straight-line masking tool to block off a first area of the room image with a straight line such that color will not be applied to the first area when color is applied to a second area of the room image. The method also includes employing a polygon masking tool to draw at least three lines to mask off a selected polygon area of the room image such that color can be applied by the user to an inside of the selected polygon area when the user selects the inside of the selected polygon area and an outside of the selected polygon area when the user selects the outside of the selected polygon area.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include a web server configured to provide data to a terminal for generating a display within a web browser of the terminal. The display has a first column of selectable color chips, each representing an associated color family, and a second column of miniature selectable color chip sub-family arrays, each having selectable color chips. A user selection from the first column causes a central display area to display an initial miniature selectable color chip sub-family array. The display also has an enlarged color chip and a room display displaying a room. A user selection of a color from the central display area causes (i) the enlarged color chip to change to the selected color, (ii) an area of the room to be colored with the selected color, and (iii) an initial row of color palettes, each including the selected color, to be displayed.
