The Color Expert™ App from Sherwin-Williams is a mobile application designed to help users visualize paint colors in their own spaces. It leverages augmented reality (AR) to overlay colors onto live camera feeds or uploaded photos of rooms. Users can explore color collections, match colors from photos, and save their favorite palettes. The app integrates with Sherwin-Williams' product catalog, allowing users to order paint samples directly. Its architecture involves a cloud-based color database and image processing algorithms for accurate color representation. The value proposition centers on simplifying the color selection process and reducing the uncertainty associated with choosing paint colors. Use cases include homeowners planning a renovation, interior designers specifying colors for clients, and contractors estimating paint quantities.
