How to create a fabric from a color palette inspired by a picture

From a keyword, generate a random color palette and inject it into a textile fabric pattern. Only desktop for the time being.

Final result using the mapping module for fashion.

First of all go to https://color.abstraktion.io/ and enter a keyword or generate a random one. Here, “red flower”.

You can even activate the microphone and say the keyword, then you can save the 6 colors palette by saying “ok”.

Left button generates a random keyword and a palette, right one generates a new palette from a new random image with the actual keyword.

Click on the save (bookmark) button to save the current palette. Actually it’s not possible to modify the colors, but it will soon !

Then you can open a new tab or window with https://fabric.abstraktion.io/, you will see this palette set with a default fabric pattern.

a,b,c,d,e,f represent the 6 threads colored by the palette that you can use into the formula to draw the fabric.

300a means you’ll repeat 300 times a thread, 50e : 50 times e thread, etc. 746 x 746 is the thread count for warp and weft. u > v and v > u buttons inject warp and weft formulas into opposite. Random generates a random formula, update draws it.

“Download” will download the generated repeatable texture into your device so you’ll be able to use it in any other graphic solution such as Photoshop, Illustrator or Clo3D. Even if you’re not working for the textile industry or as a stylist into the fashion industry, you may use them for game design with a 3D software and use it as a texture on a character for Unity 3D, for exemple.

Activating this button will automatically fetch and redraw the fabric with the latest color palette generated by the color application.

Then you can download the jpg fabric and use it in any other software as a repeatable texture.

It’s possible to use this fabric design into the online saas platform for fashion designers https://abstraktion.io/ to get mapping simulations on different garments or accessories such as shoes.
