System and method for automated color scheme transformation

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, computer-readable medium and a method for transforming a color scheme. A processor is configured to retrieve from storage data including content elements defining a user interface screen in response to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color. For each content element of the user interface screen, a color of the content element is compared the source color. Based on the comparison, if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, the color of the content element can be converting to the replacement color. After the processing of the content elements, the user interface is displayed on a display device, including the converted color element(s).

         12 . A user interface conversion method, comprising:
 responsive to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color, retrieving from storage data including content elements defining a user interface screen,   for each content element of the user interface screen, comparing a color of the content element to the source color,   if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, converting the color of the content element to the replacement color, and   following processing of the content elements, displaying the user interface on a display device, including the converted color element(s).   
     
     
         13 . A user interface conversion method, comprising:
 responsive to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color, retrieving from storage data defining a user interface screen,   for each content element of the user interface, comparing a color of the content element to the source color,   if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, converting the color of the content element to the replacement color;   determining a distance vector separating the content element's color from the source color along the color palette,   converting the color of the content element to a new color based on the replacement color and distance vector, and   following processing of the content elements, displaying the user interface on a display device, including the converted color element(s).   
     
     
         14 . A system for transforming a color scheme of a user interface, comprising:
 a server that provides a user interface screen to the client computer, wherein the user interface screen is defined by content elements; and   a client computer including a display device and an input device connected to the client computer, the client computer comprising a processor configured to:
 in response to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color, retrieving from storage data including content elements defining a user interface screen, 
 for each content element of the user interface screen, comparing a color of the content element to the source color, 
 if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, converting the color of the content element to the replacement color, and 
 following processing of the content elements, displaying the user interface on a display device, including the converted color element(s). 
   
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium embodied with program instructions for causing a processor to execute the program instructions, the program instructions for transforming a color scheme of a user interface, comprising:
 responsive to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color, retrieving from storage data including content elements defining a user interface screen, for each content element of the user interface screen, comparing a color of the content element to the source color,   if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, converting the color of the content element to the replacement color, and   following processing of the content elements, displaying the user interface on a display device, including the converted color element(s).
