Xerox color language : Xerox Corporation scientists are developing a technology to make adjusting colors in a document as easy as simply describing the color. Users can type “make the sky a deeper blue” or give a voice command “make the background carnation pink” and the software does the work. The invention, still in the research stage, creates “color language” by translating human descriptions of color into the precise numerical codes that machines use to print color documents. “Especially in the office environment, there are many non-experts who know how they would like color to appear but have no idea how to manipulate the color to get what they want,” said Geoffrey Woolfe, principal scientist in the Xerox Innovation Group.
