Abstract :
Everything in this universe that the naked eye can perceive has color. Color impacts our lives in various ways; red color is perceived as danger or warning, blue color has a calming effect, whereas green color indicates approval. Soothing colors can relax the human body, whereas some colors may irritate the human eye. People with full color vision or with color vision deficiency (color blind), both struggle in selecting colors, for example, while designing a website, contrasting colored clothes, or choosing colors to paint the house. The issue that arises is whether the colors are in harmony; meaning if the colors complement each other and are not unappealing to the eye. In this paper we have proposed a model of a color harmonizer application, which will facilitate the user to harmonize colors according to color harmonies.
