Ever wondered how Samsung decides what color options would accompany a particular smartphone? Did you know that the selection of the right colors for a device is almost as important as the device's design, and that the colors and material used for a smartphone go hand in hand? Well, some of you probably knew it wasn't a very simple process, but for those who didn't, Samsung's new infographic does a good job of detailing how its color choices have evolved over the years.
Samsung uses the term CMF, which stands for color, material and finish, to describe how the color development process takes place. From the get go, product designers, CMF designers, and engineers sit down and decide the color, material and finish depending on the product. The next step is for researchers to analyse current trends to find out the grip and color preferences of consumers, followed by the selection of materials that suit each color. We can't exactly say Samsung has done a good job of this all the time – the Galaxy S5 was a clear misstep in terms of the combination of material and color, but it does seem to be working out quite well when you talk about the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.
From bright and overbearing yellow that will hurt your eyes to sober and classier colors, Samsung has done it all in its long history of making mobile devices, and the infographic shows all the eccentric paint jobs it has used over the years. It's a long infographic so you might want to wait for it to load fully before you start scrolling down on the image below; do let us know which one do you think is the best or worst of the lot in the comments section.
