This theme has as main objective to introduce a method of "smart" transfer of harmonic color palettes based on a particular theme or color expression model. The "smart" part would be shaped by the retention ca- pability information of the original input image, ie, the number of percep- tible colors must not be changed beyond be combined with other existing color model. The "thematic" part would be for the account of a research core of palettes that would read a certain base of images and would ex- tract the n best ranked palettes in the base.

Abstract
This theme has as main objective to introduce a method of "smart"
transfer of harmonic color palettes based on a particular theme or color
expression model. The "smart" part would be shaped by the retention ca-
pability information of the original input image, ie, the number of percep-
tible colors must not be changed beyond be combined with other existing
color model. The "thematic" part would be for the account of a research
core of palettes that would read a certain base of images and would ex-
tract the n best ranked palettes in the base.
