A system and method for organizing a plurality of sets color values into a plurality of color groups, such as paint, pigments, or dye formulations, is provided. The inputs to the system are the color values of a proposed paint, dye or colorant formulation and color measurement angles. The system includes an input device for entering a plurality of sets of color values and an artificial intelligence cluster model coupled to the input device. The cluster model produces an output signal indicative of the one color group to which a set of color values belongs. The artificial intelligence model may be embodied in a neural network. More specifically, the cluster model may be a self-organizing map neural network.
