Detecting and visualising large scale colour trends
| Project: | Colorific | ||||
(with Lars Yencken)
In this talk we describe the adventures arising from our attempts to detect colour trends from millions of designs using Python Imaging library, SciPy, and a cast of helpers. Along the way, we'll consider what it means for a colour to be interesting, for two colours to be similar, and look at common uses of colour in designs.
