Abstract: In some embodiments, a color communication computing system receives a plurality of color interest messages from a plurality of mobile computing devices. Each color interest message indicates a color of a product. The color communication computing system receives a trend request message from a mobile computing device that indicates one or more color component products within one or more cartridges installed in a product mixing device communicatively coupled to the mobile computing device. The color communication computing system determines one or more relevant colors from the plurality of color interest messages. The color communication computing system filters the one or more relevant colors based on whether each relevant color can be dispensed using the color component products within the one or more cartridges installed in the product mixing device communicatively coupled to the mobile computing device, and transmits the filtered one or more relevant colors to the mobile computing device.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a system is provided. The system comprises a plurality of product mixing devices; a color communication computing system; and a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device is communicatively coupled to a first product mixing device of the plurality of product mixing devices and communicatively coupled to the color communication computing system. The mobile computing device includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by at least one processor of the mobile computing device, cause the mobile computing device to perform actions comprising: receiving a message from the color communication computing system indicating a product having a first color that was dispensed by a second product mixing device of the plurality of product mixing devices; and causing, by the mobile computing device, the first color to be presented.
