Market: How Do I Use The Colors Filter?

 

Use the Colors filter to choose the predominant color group of products, such as red dresses. You can apply as many color filters as you’d like at the same time. 

 

 

Advanced Color Searches

 

EDITED Market assigns Pantone TPX codes to each product. While a product may be one color in reality, an image will often consist of a selection of similar shades due to lighting and shadows. 

To find products that have been assigned a specific TPX code, you can type the code into the Keyword filter.  

 

A product's color code is determined by analyzing the product image, so the Pantone color associated with a product may vary to that of the product in real life.  

 

 

How Are Colors Categorized?

 

All colors in EDITED are classified using a combination of image recognition and the color name of each individual product. 

As a first step, once we’ve collected images from retailers' websites, we then clean and re-process them. This is to remove any unhelpful details such as the white space around the image and parts of the image that don’t include the product. These images are then fed into a more complex model to split the images into their determining color groups e.g. finding red areas of products to then determine the overall color group as red. The product is then put through a final stage that considers the name & description, which then outputs the final color classification of the product.

 

If a SKU name has the word multicolor in it, or three or more individual colors, e.g. blue / red / green t-shirt they will be assigned to multicolor.

 

Retailers don’t always assign a color name to a product on their website. In these cases, for single-option products, EDITED will only use image recognition to identify the product's color and ignore its name. Multi-option products will sit in the Unassigned color category to ensure the accuracy of the other color groups. We do not use image recognition for products that have multiple colorways with obscure names as we cannot confidently discern which images belong to which product.
