ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented system for selecting a color scheme and colorizing a document with the selected color scheme includes displaying a menu of user-selectable objectives which are used to define a color scheme, accessing a computerized color knowledge-base system in accordance with the selected objectives to select the color scheme, and displaying the selected color scheme. Once the color scheme has been selected, the document can be colorized by retrieving the document from a file such as that created by a desktop publishing program, selecting a page of the document image to be colorized, and colorizing a plurality of reproductions of the selected page. The plurality of reproduced pages are variably colorized with combinations of colors from the selected color scheme. A user selects the most desirably colorized page reproduction and the selected colorized page is re-displayed for further processing.
