After an initial starting single color may or may not be provided, the user may indicate a global sensation, such as morning, so that all colors inputted thereafter will be modified by the global sensation, or input a basic color, such as blue. In either case, menu driven user input information may include any number of human sensations relating to color for modifying the previously compounded color. In each case, the newly compounded color is displayed in a color display area on the screen. Thus formed, new colors may be named and stored to be retrieved at a later date. The menus on the display screen may be grouped according to basic decisions, basic colors, and compounding modifications according to human sensations, which latter may be subgrouped according to specific types of sensations such as mood, feeling, temperature, and the like.
