Abstract COLOUR ENCODING CLUSTERING A method of determining one or more representative colour encodings is disclosed. A set of colour encoding clusters is determined for a plurality of candidate colour encodings based on a clustering criterion related to one or more desired perceptual attributes of the plurality of candidate colour encodings. Each candidate colour encoding is assigned to one cluster within the set of colour encoding clusters. A representative colour encoding is ) determined for each cluster within the set of colour encoding clusters depending on the candidate colour encodings assigned to each cluster. 3244700vI (970388 Final) Obtain collection of related candidate colour encodings Determine a set of desired perceptual attributes of the candidate colour encodings Determine numerical values of the important perceptual attributes for each candidate encoding Determine a set of clusters of candidate colour encodings based on the numerical values of the desired perceptual attributes Determine a representative encoding for each cluster within the determined set of clusters Replace the candidate colour encodings assigned to each particular cluster by the representative colour encoding.
