That's part of it, and the other part was it was really hard to actually identify the color in all of the items, without doing it manually. Even doing it programatically, as you can see from the limited amount that we have, wasn't great.

It had to:

1. Pull down the image (and they're NOT BIG IMAGES)
2. Get rid of all of the pure white, black, transparent, etc colors
3. Choose from the remaining colors 1-3 'primary' colors. But even if a lipstick is blue, how much of it is really blue? Just the makeup part, while the rest is the container or whatever package we've put it in, which isn't helpful when you're searching by color.

It's something I've taken a few attempts at, and still just haven't come up with a great solution. The labels (and folks applying labels are my heroes!) should help a lot 😰
