[Release] Color wheel -- Pick a color. Get blocks that match it.

Hexagon · Before February 2015

I need help with this project; if you would like to help, feel free to PM me with your skype username (or something else) and then we can collaborate as a group or you could respond to this post with your ideas.

This is a website that Mylo and I made that lets you choose a color and then it finds EE blocks that match that color.

Website: http://ee-colorwheel.herokuapp.com/
Lacking the filter by package option and search; will be added soon.

Original idea: http://www.eeforumify.com/viewtopic.php?pid=266848 (BuzzerBee)

Credits: http://ee-colorwheel.herokuapp.com/credits.html

Add keywords! http://ee-colorwheel.herokuapp.com/block_keywords.html

Pending features:
- Similar blocks (choose a block and find similar ones)
As always, comments and suggestions are always welcome!

Version 0.82 June 23

This is nice!!!

Very well done. It'd be helpful if you added the actual block colour as the background colour of each block estimation.

Awesome idea, just implemented it.

You should go all out. Just because you didn't find one somewhere else (I don't think there is one like yours) doesn't mean you shouldn't do it all. This will really help a lot of people who need block colors and stuff.

I could, but I'm not too keen on "reinventing the wheel" so to speak. If there's another one available, it can probably do everything mine can and more!

This is nice. I think a column should be added showing what block it is... I guess we could look it up on DOH's site... but I think it would be easier. Still nice though

If you mean to show what the block looks like (the entire block) then yeah, I could definitely add that.

Yeah that's what I meant.

Done.
I just found out that there are many many "colorwheel" EE worlds but because this website serves a different purpose I might as well keep it.

The color worlds are often confusing... and I can see how this could work with a color picker.

I think that colorwheel worlds are good for people who really know the blocks and know which color they are searching for and have most if not all of the EE blocks. I guess this website is more for people who are exploring for different colors and are not super familiar with the game.

XxAtillaxX · Before February 2015

I think the colour algorithm needs to be improved. It seems as though it's comparing colours irregularly.

Anch · Before February 2015

You spelled "sifi" wrong.
In the "Included Packages" section, not the Results section.

I'm using the CIEDE2000 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_difference#CIEDE2000 algorthim but there is a possibility that I misported the C# version to javascript. I'll investigate and see what the problem is.

@Anch Whoops. I'll fix that right now. Thanks for noticing!

EDIT: I have implemented the CIEDE2000 algorithm wrong; I'll try to fix it right now. Thanks again!

Forgot to convert the rgb colors into lab :rolleyes: so the algorithm was getting completely wrong values.

Works a bit better now . You may have to empty your cache for the changes to take effect though.

What does the score represent? Like the higher number it is, the closer the color matches?

Kentiya · Before February 2015

Full white never gives any white blocks. :/

I'm quite forgetful today! Just added 140 background blocks. Thanks for noticing that!

EDIT: the addition of background blocks doesn't seem to fix it too much. I'll investigate some more as to what the problem is.

The lower the score, the better the match and vice versa.

Sorry for another post but I finally fixed it. It works super well now.

When I originally was experimenting with it I thought a higher score was better, so I *didn't show any value that was below 20* which was effectively only showing the really bad matches.

It seems to work quite nicely now. I'm sure it'll be most useful to artists.
I think that showing the block ID would be more useful than showing a score, though.

Totally agree.

Hmm that's odd. Thanks for finding that out, I'll fix it right now.
EDIT: just fixed that. Forgot to add the handler for backgrounds when I added the block ids.
Thinking about making a auto-builder optimizer, where you give it a list of blocks you have, it'll show the preview and suggest block packs to get that would optimize the image quality (by adding colors). Can't really judge the usefulness of that though.

Don't know if it's supposed to be like this, but you can't un-click basic.
