Abstract
An improved color selection process for assisting customers when shopping for floor, wall, or window coverings is disclosed. The color selection process includes: (a) the creation of a digital and graphic computer database that classifies a store's or other entity's entire product inventory according to internally harmonious color families, and (b) a visualization experience, using this database, computer graphics and a specially designed color room to give customers a more realistic preview of product(s) being considered.
