If colors have been used in catalogs for the part depiction, the Color search can be used, either as only search method or in combination with other methods in order to enhance the result quality.
The Color search contains two options: You can determine colors via color palette or load a picture, where the relevant colors are automatically scanned from. In the case of complicated dye distribution using an image file is advantageous.
In the following both options are described with the help of an example part:
Select the Colors tabbed page.
The "Edit" button is only displayed in Admin mode. On this see under Section 1.2.5, “ Define search template ” in PARTsolutions / PARTcommunity4Enterprise - Administration Manual.

Adjust the minimum similarity, meaning how exact the level of color matching shall be. Parts which do not meet the condition are not regarded.
