Textile Color Swatch

Open Library

Textile Color Swatch Open Library

The Textile Color Swatch Open Library is the public digital color layer for projects that need clear licensing, reproducible values, and enough textile context to move from swatches into design decisions. These palettes use Open Color as the value source and add textile-specific roles for tonal range building, washed grounds, contrast weaves, trims, material neutrals, and stitch highlights.

Selection Notes

How to choose this direction

  • Use the Open Library values as digital starting points, then approve final colors against physical textile standards.
  • Keep source attribution with exported or published palette references when reusing the Open Color-derived values.
  • Treat this library as the color decision layer now; reserve verified supplier approvals, measured Lab values, and tolerance targets for the Verified Textile Standards roadmap.
  • Choose tonal palettes for range planning, washed palettes for soft grounds, contrast palettes for prints, deep trims for components, material neutrals for basics, and stitch palettes for embroidery or seams.

Palette Hub

MIT-licensed Open Color values adapted into textile-ready digital palettes for color decision workflows.

Each palette includes textile use notes, material ideas, color role guidance, contrast notes, and copyable digital values.
