October 28, 2008 [mind-bogglingly-OT] Color compatibility | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I bought a tie on Sunday. I wanted to know if it went with my shirt. But I don't have the ability to decide this myself. So, being a computer scientist, I decided to use computers to solve this problem for me. I created a web site ( http://home.codu.org/colormatch/ ) where people could tell me if randomly-selected colors go together. I then took the data and used it to evolve a neural network (because I wurve genetic algorithms), and used the resulting neural network to create this site: http://codu.org/colormatch/ I think it works pretty well at determining whether colors go together, all things considered. I'll probably use it to help me make wardrobe choices from now on. - Gregor Richards PS: Please don't respond with examples of poorly-matched colors that it says match. That is not helpful :P |

I have learned something today. Red goes with everything except lime green.
An interesting experiment.

I solved that problem years ago. I don't wear a tie.

Posted in reply to Gregor Richards | For those interested in solving these kinds of problems with neural network, check backpropagation. But yeah, evo algos are nice :) |
