POC 3: Coordinating color combination

[apanitzke]

Find the outfits with the best-scoring color combinations from a randomly generated list.

1. Compare the HSV values present in each randomly generated outfit. It is not necessary to compare HSVs within the same item, only across items.
2. Score each outfit based on the following rules:

Points:

• All non-neutral colors either coordinate or match : Colors coordinate when any of the following are true:
• H is at least 15* different
• S is at least 25* different
• V is at least 25* different Colors match when the color name is exactly the same.
• At least one neutral color exists: Items with color names containing the 'neutral' indication.
• At least one non-neutral color exists: Items with color names that do not contain the 'neutral' indication.
• No more than three items containing a matching color: An outfit should not contain more than 3 items containing the same color.
• Outfit contains between 1 and 2 metallic colors: Colors will be indicated as metallic in the data.

3. Rank the outfits according to the total score.

This one is to prototype the recommendation engine right?

@SomethingSexy This is just one part of the recommendation engine, probably the most important part. I'm thinking we will want to start with this since it is so key and also quite experimental. Once we get this working well, then we can layer in the other factors having to do with recommendations- composition factors such as multicolored items, patterns, fit, followed by appropriateness factors such as comfort, fit, warmth, and modesty. If you agree with this approach, I'll open tickets for each of these pieces.
