In The Mod: Color Analytics (ITM). Dr. Woohoo created custom software that uses a series of Color Analytic algorithms to analyze the color palettes from (in)famous paintings from artists like Josef Albers, Andy Warho, Jean-Michel Basquiat, as well as CEB Reas, Jared Tarbell, Daniel Martin Diaz, Jesse LeDoux, Gary Baseman and Nicholas Deakin. After collecting a range of colors from the painting, the algorithms then organize the colors based on their frequency distribution (frequency, relative frequency, etc.) and central tendencies (mode, median, weighted mean, etc.). After reducing the color palettes from hundreds of thousands of colors down to several hundred, the data is visualized in a 2d color space and the palettes are downloadable for you at InTheMod.com in formats compatible with Flash, Processing and After Effects.
