Is it possible to forecast the next hot color trends? Pimkie Color Forecast thinks so; it shows you in real time what people are wearing in Europe’s fashion capitals.
High definition cameras were installed in the fashion capitals of Europe (Milan, Paris, Antwerp) and then connected to computers with color tracking software developed by Pedro Cruz. The software analyzes the passing colors and shows in real time which colors are worn most often, then the colors are compiled into an infographic to see how trends evolve.
See how it works:

Looks excellent but I guess it would also take the skin colour from the face and hands into the equation. How do you stop everything having a predominantly pinky tinge?

Algorithms can be taught to ignore it, based on easily programmable code. Also, human body shapes are recognizeable via software. It’s easy for your eye to learn the patterns, so therefor it’s possible to pass that pattern recognition (ankles, face, hands often being skin) to the machine.

If it take that into account it is an interesting tool. I hope the developer can find profitable applications x
