Paint Rack Organizer

Perceptual color sorting for a physical paint rack.

A practical one-off tool for making a physical paint rack easier to use. It loads an inventory export, samples colors from product images, and searches for a perceptually smooth rack order in CIE LAB space. Metallic paints get dedicated rows, and the result is exported as an image, CSV, and plain text.

highlights

  • Nearest-neighbor ordering refined with 2-opt
  • Separate rows for metallic paints
