Patent number: 10853839Abstract: Supplemental content is selected or generated based at least in part upon colors of primary content with which the supplemental content is to be displayed. Color data is determined for primary content and that color data is used to select supplemental content that includes complementary or similar colors. Past performance data can be analyzed in order to determine which colors are most effective for a type of opportunity. When an opportunity arises to provide supplemental content, the effective colors can be recommended or, in some cases, automatically applied such that the supplemental content will include colors that improve the overall likelihood of performance of the supplemental content. If a designer is generating supplemental content, a tool can use such performance data to recommend colors based on the type of supplemental content or other such targeting criteria.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Jason Adrian Galep, Paul Anthony Kotas
