ColorPaletteProject

This project generates a color palette from an image. It also includes support for the Solarized color scheme.

Features

• Extracts dominant colors from an image using K-Means++ clustering.
• Scales the image to optimize processing time without sacrificing quality.
• Provides an abstract PaletteModel for defining new color palette models.
• Maps dominant colors to the nearest colors defined in the PaletteModel.
• Generates a new color palette by adjusting colors based on the PaletteModel.
• Outputs a SVG representation of the generated color palette.
• Prints the hex codes of the colors in the generated color palette to the console.

Usage

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. In the Main object, update the imagePath to point to your image.
3. Run the Main object. The new palette(s) will be printed to the console, and a SVG representation will be saved to your specified path.

Requirements

• Scala 2.13.7
• sbt 1.8.2

Limitations

• The tool uses the RGB color space for color distance calculations, which may not always yield perceptually accurate results.

Future Enhancements

• Improved color distance calculation using the LAB color space.
• Support for other color spaces and color palette models.
• Parallel processing for increased performance on multi-core systems.
