  • Publication number: 20200286444
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more methods, procedures, and/or systems may determine multiple most utilized colors of an image; may determine multiple lightness values respectively associated with the multiple most utilized colors of the image; may determine a lightness value of the multiple lightness values that is within a range of lightness values and a saturation value respectively associated with the lightness value that is above a threshold value; may determine a color of the multiple most utilized colors that is associated with the lightness value and with the saturation value as a dominant color; may repeatedly darken the dominant color by an amount until a ratio between a relative luminance value of a foreground color and a relative luminance value of the dominant color is within a range of a target ratio; and may utilize the dominant color as a background color.

  • Patent number: 10769832
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may display, via a graphical user interface, a graphic; and for each time value in ordered multiple time values: may determine, based at least on the time value of the ordered multiple time values, first multiple light intensity values of respective first multiple pseudo light sources at respective first multiple positions with respect to the graphical user interface and associated with a first clipping path of the graphic; for each pixel of first multiple within the first clipping path of the graphic, may determine a lightness value for the pixel of the first multiple pixels based at least on non-linear relationships of distances between the pixel of the first multiple pixels and each of the first multiple positions; and may display, via the graphical user interface, the first multiple pixels within the first clipping path of the graphic.
