Project Synopsis

Project Medici was initiated in November 2019 to design and develop the Medici Paint Companion, an Android mobile application that would serve beginner, intermediate and professional painters alike. The system would be intelligent enough to identify colours from the real world and provide the closest matching paints to those colours.

Additionally, the system would have a comprehensive paint catalogue containing hundreds of paints across leading manufacturers. Users would be able to access each paint in a professional paint summary screen and view interesting information pertaining to that paint’s history, colour properties and provenance, as well as helpful tips on how to use them.

Moreover, the system would be driven by colour theory principles, allowing users to generate and view complementary, triadic and tetradic colour schemes for each and every paint.

The objective of Project Medici was to technologise the business of creativity, establish a foothold in an observed gap in the market and develop a product that would prove invaluable to painters.
