Lexical classification system with dynamic modifiers

摘要

A method of applying a color modifier to a color having a corresponding color name. The method involves receiving a color modifier and a color name and determining a displacement value corresponding to the received color modifier. Determining a displacement value corresponding to the received color modifier involves reference to a color naming database including a set of color modifiers having corresponding color-attribute displacement values. The color modifier is applied to the color name by applying the displacement value to a color value corresponding to the color name.
