  • Patent number: 10901576
    Abstract: A color selection and display device includes a display, a user interface configured for receiving input data identifying a selected color, an orientation sensor configured to generate an orientation signal based on an orientation of the color selection and display device, and a memory storing a virtual paint chip arrangement. Relative locations of individual colors within the virtual paint chip arrangement correspond to a real world retail paint chip display. The device further includes at least one processor configured to receive the orientation signal and determine an orientation of the color selection and display device, and to control the display to automatically display the virtual paint chip arrangement based on the orientation of the color selection and display device. The selected color is highlighted in the virtual paint chip arrangement.

  • Patent number: 10809884
    Abstract: A color selection and display system. A computing device comprises a display, a memory storing a color matrix comprising a plurality of virtual paint chips each virtual paint chip representing a specified paint color, a user interface configured for receiving input data identifying a selected color and a processor configured to control the display to automatically display the color matrix such that the selected color is highlighted in the virtual paint chip arrangement. In embodiments, a retail paint chip display comprises a plurality of paint chips in a specified layout such that the relative location of each virtual paint chip in the color matrix corresponds to the layout of the retail paint chip display. In embodiments, a rendered scene is displayed based on a base image and at last one paintable surface defined by a plurality of locations in the base image.
