ABSTRACT:
This invention consists of processes that cause the accurate simulation of a target image, pattern, or color by either averaging the colors of text with its adjacent background or by averaging layers of color. In the former, text and the background around or adjacent to the text are selectively colorized such that, when viewed from a distance, the text and background optically blend and average together to accurately simulate the colors and grayscale values of an image. For the latter, this invention demonstrates how the perceived effects of shadows or highlights on a surface are counteracted by applying calculated antidote colors to those effects. It also demonstrates how a starting surface's color can be changed to a target surface's color by applying layers of transparent primary colors to that surface.
