Abstract
Systems and methods are provided and include a web server configured to provide data to a terminal for generating a display within a web browser of the terminal. The display has a first column of selectable color chips, each representing an associated color family, and a second column of miniature selectable color chip sub-family arrays, each having selectable color chips. A user selection from the first column causes a central display area to display an initial miniature selectable color chip sub-family array. The display also has an enlarged color chip and a room display displaying a room. A user selection of a color from the central display area causes (i) the enlarged color chip to change to the selected color, (ii) an area of the room to be colored with the selected color, and (iii) an initial row of color palettes, each including the selected color, to be displayed.
