Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include a computer terminal located at a flooring store that receives a measured color of a flooring product. A server receives paint product catalog information from a computer system located at a coating manufacturer facility, determines paint colors that coordinate with the flooring product based on the paint product catalog information, and runs a paint product ordering application that interacts with a web browser of the computer terminal. The computer terminal receives a paint product ordering web page from the server that enables a user to create an order for a paint product based on a selected paint color and transmits the order to the server. The server receives the order and communicates the order to the computer system at the coating manufacturer facility. The computer system receives the order for order fulfillment, including creating, packing, and shipping the paint product to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include a server configured to receive a copy of paint product catalog information associated with a coating manufacturer, store a paint product ordering application, receive a measured color of a flooring product from a dealer computer terminal located at a flooring store, determine paint colors that coordinate with the flooring product based on a measured color of the flooring product and the copy of the paint product catalog information, communicate the paint colors to the dealer computer terminal, run the paint product ordering application, receive an order for a paint product from the dealer computer terminal, and communicate the order for the paint product to a computer system located at a coating manufacturer facility, the computer system being configured to receive transmission of the order for the paint product from the server for order fulfillment at the coating manufacturer facility.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a display assembly that displays paint color chips at paint color chip locations that each have a divider tab. A light-emitting diode (LED) control circuit is in communication with each LED of an LED array and in communication with a computing device that determines a particular paint color chip based on received input, determines a particular paint color chip location of the particular paint color chip, identifies a particular LED associated with the particular paint color chip location, and transmits an activation signal to the LED control circuit. The LED control circuit receives the activation signal and activates the particular LED to illuminate the divider tab located at the particular paint color chip location within the display assembly.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed and include a light-emitting diode (LED) array with LEDs associated with respective paint color chip locations of a display assembly. A processor receives a first signal indicating first paint color chip locations and determines whether a second signal is received from a second device within a threshold time, the second signal indicating second paint color chip locations. The processor assigns a first lighting characteristic to the first device and a second lighting characteristic to the second device, identifies a first set of LEDs associated with the first paint color chip locations and a second set of LEDs associated with the second paint color chip locations, and transmits an activation signal to the LED control circuit to activate the first set of LEDs based on the first lighting characteristic and the second set of LEDs based on the second lighting characteristic.

Abstract: A system includes a shelving mechanism having a first surface, a second surface, a tab channel adjacent to the second surface, and a pair of supports. The pair of supports is disposed between an opening defined by the first surface and the second surface. The tab channel is defined by a first tab surface and a second tab surface. The first tab surface and the second tab surface are nonparallel to the second surface. The first tab surface includes a first locking portion and the second tab surface includes a second locking portion. A light-emitting diode (LED) array is slidably disposed on the pair of supports and a divider tab snaps into engagement with the tab channel. The divider tab is configured to illuminate in response to receiving light from the LED array.
