ENVIRONMENT AWARE COLOR VISUALIZATION

The visualization of color on a display of a device is improved using environmental awareness. In one example, a distribution of lighting in an environment is captured using at least one sensor of the device, such as light or image sensors. Further, a viewing angle of a viewer of the display of the device is determined using sensors. Based on the distribution of lighting and the viewing angle, among other environmental factors, color in at least one area on the display of the device is rendered. In addition to the distribution of lighting and the viewing angle, the color can be rendered with reference to a reflectance distribution function associated with the color, a display profile of the display of the device, or other parameters. Further, movement of the device can be tracked, and the color on the display of the device adjusted dynamically based on the movement.
