What is ColorMapper


This project is born inspired from the Rosetta Stone. The stone became key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs.

With ColorMapper we try to translate and map chosen colors generated from images, to their closest existing Industy used Color Palettes such as: RAL Classic, Pantone, the NCS Natural Color System (SAP) etc.


Complicated Math and Colors?


This service utilizes the CIEDE-2000 algorithm to find the closest pixel which can be mapped to an existing Color Palette.

So far it is the only tool that allows mapping the extracted colors to an existing Color Palette. The interface is compatible with mobile devices and is fast and precise.

A Social media tool as well


Next to being a great asset and tool for any professional in the field of graphic design, fashion, architecture or interior design, the registered users can choose to upload their image with logo.

The chosen color generated from the image will be added automagically on the image with their logo or text.

From pixel to palette


The nearest possible colors are mapped to their closest color in the chosen Color Palette.
This is were you see the actual "Rosetta" translation.

Boring Images turn into exciting Color sources


As a test for a large floor manufacturer we tested some of their products. It yielded some surprisingly interesting results!

Integration as plugin


Since the tool is written in PHP and Javascript its easily integrated as a plugin for existing webapplications.
