Wixcom has filed a patent for a system that handles color assignment within complex documents and maintains a perceived brightness difference between elements on a discreet-pixel-depth-display. The system includes a user interface for modifying color schemes, a color handler to match perceived brightness, a brightness handler to calculate brightness, and a subordinate color overrider to calculate actual colors. The patent aims to improve color consistency and brightness in documents. GlobalData’s report on Wixcom gives a 360-degree view of the company including its patenting strategy. Buy the report here.

Color assignment system for maintaining perceived brightness difference
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230298228A1) describes a system for handling color assignment within a complex document and maintaining a perceived brightness difference between elements on a discreet-pixel-depth-display. The system includes a user interface that allows users to modify colors within a chosen color scheme for a document component. A color handler within the system modifies the chosen color scheme to match the perceived brightness of the modified colors throughout the updated color scheme. The color handler includes a brightness handler to calculate the perceived brightness of the modified colors and a subordinate color overrider to calculate the actual color to be assigned based on the existing subordinate color and the new color requested by the user. The color handler also includes a color processor to process and apply the updated color scheme to the document component.
Additionally, the system includes a color blender that creates color blend sequences between associated subordinate colors. The color blender uses subordinate color overrides as anchors for curves in a 3-dimensional color space to transition between colors. The color blender also includes a bucket handler that divides the available perceived brightness range into buckets to create target perceived brightness values for the color blending process. The bucket size is not uniform.
The color handler further includes a column adapter handler that creates unity among associated subordinate colors of a principal color. It also includes an invertor that can reverse the chosen color scheme while retaining the association of elements in the document to specific positions in the updated color scheme.
The system also includes a principal color overrider that assigns the modified colors to principal color cells within a particular portion of the document. The principal color overrider handles changes to associated subordinate colors within that portion using different algorithms, such as the 0-anchor, 1-anchor, or 2-anchor algorithm.
The patent also describes a method for handling color assignment within a complex document and maintaining a perceived brightness difference between elements on a discreet-pixel-depth-display. The method includes facilitating user modification of colors within a chosen color scheme, calculating the perceived brightness of the modified colors, calculating the actual color to be assigned based on the existing subordinate color and the new color requested by the user, and applying the updated color scheme to the document component.
The method also includes creating color blend sequences between associated subordinate colors using curve fitting in a 3-dimensional color space. The method divides the available perceived brightness range into buckets to create target perceived brightness values for the color blending process, with a non-uniform bucket size.
The method further includes creating unity among associated subordinate colors of a principal color, reversing the chosen color scheme while maintaining element associations, and assigning modified colors to principal color cells within a portion of the document using different algorithms.
