Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating accessible color themes, a computing device implements an accessibility system to receive an input color palette including original colors defined in a color space. The accessibility system generates color vision deficiency simulations that correspond to pairs of the original colors and computes perceptual color differences between the color vision deficiency simulations. Candidate colors are determined for corresponding original colors based at least partially on the perceptual color differences and a conflicting perceptual color difference. The accessibility system outputs an output color palette including replacement colors defined in the color space that are generated at least partially based on distances between the candidate colors and the corresponding original colors computed in a CIELAB color space.

Abstract: Embodiments of the technology described herein, are an intelligent system that aims to expedite a text design process by providing text design predictions interactively. The system works with a typical text design scenario comprising a background image and one or more text strings as input. In the design scenario, the text string is to be placed on top of the background. The textual design agent may include a location recommendation model that recommends a location on the background image to place the text. The textual design agent may also include a font recommendation model, a size recommendation model, and a color recommendation model. The output of these four models may be combined to generate draft designs that are evaluated as a whole (combination of color, font, and size) for the best designs. The top designs may be output to the user.

The disclosed systems automatically capture a digital image when the subject is in total alignment with the generated pose guide.

Abstract: In aspects of text importance spatial layout, a computing device implements a processing device to receive a text importance vector that includes designations of visual properties for constituent words of a text phrase. Spatial layouts of the text phrase are determined, with each spatial layout being a different displayable representation of the constituent words arranged based on the designations of the visual properties in the text importance vector for each of the constituent words. Feature vectors are generated, each feature vector represents a spatial layout of the text phrase and includes measurement properties of each of the constituent words in the respective spatial layout. The spatial layouts are ranked based on a metric that indicates a degree of similarity of the measurement properties of each of the constituent words in a respective spatial layout matching to the visual properties for the constituent words as designated in the text importance vector.

Abstract: Techniques are described for modification of color contrast ratio based on target contrast that overcome the challenges experienced in conventional systems for color contrast selection. In an implementation, a user leverages a content editing system to select a color set for contrast analysis. Utilizing the selected color set, the content editing system determines whether the color set exhibits a target contrast ratio. Further, the content editing system performs modification of the color set to generate candidate color sets that improve (e.g., increase) a contrast ratio of the original color set. The content editing system, for instance, manipulates color values (e.g., luminance values) of the original color set to increase a contrast ratio of the colors and generate different candidate color sets that are applicable to digital content.

Abstract: A method for generating a color gradient includes receiving an input indicating a smoothness of the color gradient and detecting a gradient path defined from an image. The method also includes identifying a set of colors from the gradient path. The method includes detecting a set of color pivots associated with the set of colors. A number of the color pivots in the set of color pivots is based on the input indicating the smoothness of the color gradient. The method includes generating a set of individual color gradients along the gradient path including a color gradient between a first pair of colors located at a first pair of the color pivots and a different color gradient between a second pair of colors located at a second pair of the color pivots. Additionally, the method includes generating the color gradient of the image from the set of individual color gradients.

In some embodiments, a method of recommending fonts includes receiving a selection of text, providing a representation of the selection of text to a font recommendation model, generating, by the font recommendation model, a prediction score for each of a plurality of fonts based on the representation of the selection of text, and returning at least one recommended font based on the prediction score for each of the plurality of fonts.

Abstract: A contrast ratio color picker system is described that generates, based on a selected color, a contrast ratio color picker that presents a filtered palette of colors satisfying a contrast ratio threshold, relative to the selected color. To do so, the contrast ratio color picker system computes a relative luminance value for the selected color and identifies a contrast ratio threshold for the digital content. The contrast ratio color picker system then selects a palette from a target color space and generates a filtered palette by masking pixels displaying colors of the target color space palette that fail to satisfy the contrast ratio threshold. The filtered palette is then output as part of the contrast ratio color picker, which enables application of colors selected from the filtered palette to digital content.

The set of input colors can be optimized utilizing an objective function, including at least one of a CVD alignment term, out-of-gamut term, distinguishability term, and faithfulness term.

Abstract: Certain embodiments involve applying a palette-based color harmony and palette-based image recoloration to an electronic image. For instance, an electronic image processing application accesses a color palette that includes colors at a different positions in a color space. The electronic image processing application selects a harmonic template that, when applied to the color palette, minimizes an aggregate of hue distances between the positions in the color space and axes of the harmonic template. The electronic image processing application modifies the color palette based on the selected harmonic template.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computing system generates a color gradient for data visualizations by displaying a color selection design interface. The computing system receives a user input identifying a start point of a color map path and an end point of a color map path. The computing system computes a color map path between the start point and the end point constrained to traverse colors having uniform transitions between one or more of lightness, chroma, and hue. The computing system selects a color gradient having a first color corresponding to the start point of the color map path and a second color corresponding to the end point of the color map path, and additional colors corresponding to additional points along the color map path. The computing system generates a color map for visually representing a range of data values.

Abstract: In implementations of multi-resolution color-based image search, an image search system determines a color vector for a query image based on a color histogram of the query image by concatenating two color histograms having different resolutions. The image search system can compute distance measures between the color vector of the query image and color vectors of candidate images. The image search system can select one or more of the candidate images to return based on the distance measures utilizing the distance measures as indication of color similarity of the candidate images to the query image.
