Abstract

A color matching receptacle is disclosed. The color matching receptacle may include a colored top edge that matches the color of a top to allow a user to distinguish, locate and match the colored top with the base receptacle from one or more other tops and one or more other base receptacles. A shape of the open top of the base receptacle and the top are identical, the shape of the open top of the base receptacle and the top is disposed on a centered portion of the bottom of the base receptacle and a centered portion of the top with a geometric indicia of the shape. The geometric indicia also has coloring that is identical to the color of the top edge and the color of the top and a numerical indicia is disposed in a centered portion of the geometric indicia indicating a dimension of the geometric indicia.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A receptacle, comprising:
 a base receptacle having an open top and a transparent bottom; and   a top coupled to the open top of the base receptacle, wherein the transparent bottom is colored with a first color that matches a second color disposed on the top.   
     
     
         2 . The receptacle according to  claim 1 , wherein the transparent bottom is partially colored with the first color. 
     
     
         3 . The receptacle according to  claim 2 , wherein the transparent bottom is partially colored with a stripe with the first color. 
     
     
         4 . The receptacle according to  claim 1 , wherein the transparent bottom is concaved. 
     
     
         5 . The receptacle according to  claim 1 , wherein the open top of the base receptacle and the colored top are generally circular shaped. 
     
     
         6 . The receptacle according to  claim 1 , wherein the open top of the base receptacle and the colored top are generally square shaped. 
     
     
         7 . The receptacle according to  claim 1 , wherein the open top of the base receptacle and the colored top are generally rectangular shaped. 
     
     
         8 . A receptacle, comprising:
 a base receptacle having an open top, a colored top edge and a bottom; and   a colored top having an outer edge, the colored top removably disposed on the colored top edge and over the open top of the base receptacle, the colored top forms a seal on the top edge of the base receptacle to keep a food stored in the base receptacle from spoiling, the color of the top edge matches the color of the colored top to allow a user to distinguish, locate and match the colored top with the base receptacle from one or more other tops and one or more other base receptacles, a shape of the open top of the base receptacle and the colored top are identical, the shape of the open top of the base receptacle and the colored top is disposed on a centered portion of the bottom of the base receptacle and a centered portion of the colored top with a geometric indicia of the shape, the geometric indicia has coloring that is identical to the color of the top edge and the color of the colored top to allow the user to distinguish, locate and match the colored top with the base receptacle from one or more other tops and one or more other base receptacles.   
     
     
         9 . The receptacle according to  claim 8 , wherein the base receptacle is transparent. 
     
     
         10 . The receptacle according to  claim 8 , wherein the bottom is concaved.
