Color
Each record stores the material’s main colors, measured from its product images, and describes them with 24 fixed terms for family, mood and undertone. A color search finds materials with a color close to the one you ask for.
Search by paint name
Type a paint name, even loosely. MaterialGraph works out which color it means, then finds materials close to it: tile, textile and wood, from any brand. The example here is a real search.

Each square is a matched material’s measured color.
Family, mood and undertone each use a fixed list of terms, with the other words people use for them. A search or filter always uses the same terms, whatever a brand called the color.
Color Family
Which color the material reads as, measured from its palette's dominant color.
Color Mood
The character of the material's colors taken together, not of one color alone.
Color Undertone
The warmth cast of the dominant color: warm, cool, or neutral.
Most color is measured from product images. Where the brand states a color, such as a paint’s own hex value, that is used instead, and each value records which. A measured color describes how the material looks in its photographs. It is not a color specification.
A material with one color listed is a single color. A material with no colors listed has not been measured yet.
