Abstract

A distributed color selection and coordination system including a remote computer communicatively coupled to a server. The remote computer is configured to select a starting color and access a database in the server to find one or more complementary colors. The colors in the database are arranged in a predetermined relationship with other colors in the database, the relationship between colors based on color theory. The remote computer is capable of storing personal information and color selections on the server. An in-store kiosk is communicatively coupled to the server and configured to execute color selection and coordination software. The in-store kiosk is capable of retrieving stored personal information and color selections from the server which were previously stored from the remote computer.
