AUTOMATIC SYNCHRONIZATION OF STATE COLORS ACROSS A WEB-BASED SYSTEM

A network provides color translation between a server side application and a web browser application. A color object created on the server side is reduced into the individual color components defining the color property for the object. These discrete color components are then converted into numerical values representing the intensity of the respective component. The color components are then combined into a format usable by a web-based computer application. For objects including text information, the color property for the text is automatically determined, based on the translated color object, to achieve a high contrast between the background color and the foreground or text color.
