How the ranking works

Every print was measured, not tagged: its colors were clustered in CIE Lab space and compared with the wall using CIEDE2000, the color-difference formula print shops use. Each bundle gets three scores. Presence: does the print stand out from this wall at a glance. Harmony: do its accent hues complement or echo the wall. Undertone: do warm and cool undertones agree. The overall match weights them 40, 35 and 25.
