Human-Powered Color Determination from Clickworkers

While AI-based tools can handle basic tasks, they often misinterpret colors in real-world images, especially when products feature gradients, shadows, reflections, or complex patterns. That’s where human intelligence comes in.

We offer a proven workflow to companies: scalable color tagging services that cover product images, photographs, illustrations, and more. Clickworkers determine and tag up to three dominant colors per item and return structured color values, such as color codes or labels, delivered via API or formatted Excel sheets, depending on your integration needs.

Whether you’re powering a color-based filter, training a visual AI model, or building aesthetic product collections, our human-in-the-loop approach ensures accuracy where automation alone still falls short.
