RE: Proposal: VisualArtwork

Hi Thad,

Currently, a lot of websites express palettes on their pages but there is no standards in expressing them semantically. I have provided links to some websites (and industries) that I have seen expose palettes:
https://www.pantone.com/pages/MYP_myPantone/mypPaletteDetail.aspx?p_id=4894&p_type=p_detail
http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/2899175/
https://kuler.adobe.com/Theme-4-color-theme-2589222/
http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/for-your-home/color-gallery#&ce_vm=2&ce_trd=YHL

There are a lot of studies about the colors used by artists in artworks to extract his information. For example, if you look at here (http://designshack.net/articles/inspiration/10-free-color-palettes-from-10-famous-paintings/ and http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2007/06/20/color-inspiration-from-the-masters-of-painting ), color palettes for famous artworks are expressed.

The design industry (Web design, fashion design) and decor industry (art, interior design) heavily uses color swatches and palettes. We are also working on expressing color palettes for artwork (in a semantic way) that we showcase on our site.

Thanks Thanigai,

Can you point us to some references out there that have some data around the usage of a ColorSwatch ?

Existing data sources that have the metadata to fill in a ColorSwatch properly ?

Which industry systems or software uses the concept Type of a ColorSwatch that you know of ?  or is this an internal model that your developing ?
