[mind-bogglingly-OT] Color compatibility

[Gregor Richards]

I bought a tie on Sunday. I wanted to know if it went with my shirt. But 
I don't have the ability to decide this myself.

So, being a computer scientist, I decided to use computers to solve this 
problem for me. I created a web site ( http://home.codu.org/colormatch/ 
) where people could tell me if randomly-selected colors go together. I 
then took the data and used it to evolve a neural network (because I 
wurve genetic algorithms), and used the resulting neural network to 
create this site: http://codu.org/colormatch/

I think it works pretty well at determining whether colors go together, 
all things considered. I'll probably use it to help me make wardrobe 
choices from now on.

PS: Please don't respond with examples of poorly-matched colors that it 
says match. That is not helpful :P
