New "TShirt color" field!

New "TShirt color" field is available, All of your shirts have been set (as you probably noticed for a long time in the 'search' system) but now the color is available when you view the shirt, and it is also available to edit.

These were all automatically set by a custom trained neural network (Some 200,000 tshirts were updated), yeah, that's the age we live in, we have custom trained neural networks just for assigning heavy metal tshirt colors...

As the training data was a bit 'lazy' (I didnt detect/crop the shirt out of the photo), there are some interesting edge cases, like when you have a black tshirt on a red background, sometimes it will guess that the tshirt is red, but you can easily edit this anyway

I hope todo something similar with the tshirt tags, some other interesting machine learning stuff that could be done

- Detect the number of screen print colours and make it searchable (Imagine if you could ask the search "Show me all 2 color prints")
- Single-stitch versus modern double stitch (Imagine if you could ask the search 'show me all original single stitch shirts, AND 2 colors)
- Maybe detect all 100% cotton shirts versus modern 80/20 blends (could be interesting for finding fakes? along with the single stitch?)
- Maybe detect the size of the shirt? would be kind of arbitrary, modern shirts are totally different in sizing to older shirts, modern shirts are also 'unisex'
- Got any ideas? let me know

anyway.. it's all about the supporters, if you like this kind of cool stuff, please support TShirtSlayer for a beer a month!

Shoud there be a way to select two colours, for example, when the body and the sleeves are of different colours?

The colour brown is missing.

it's a good question.. i think just the 'main' colour (so in this case, grey).. or.. what do you think?

I added 'brown'

This is a though one.. Maybe it could be a good thing to mark the color variations of the different era shirts? It might help with identifying the version if the year is not listed.

Thanks for adding it.

mmm you mean like identify which colours were used in which years, and then try to group them out?

but colours change over time, UV exposure, washing etc etc..

probably impossible

Yeah, i understand. It might be useless tinkering.
