Inspiration

Colour, taken from somewhere real.

A rug, a painting, a palette card, a photograph. Every colourway here was taken off something and then checked against this quilt’s own seams before it was kept.

How these four groups are decided

By measuring the palette against this quilt, not by opinion. Every fabric's distance from grey is measured perceptually, then weighted by how much of the quilt that fabric actually covers — fabric A is 50.2% of the surface and fabric F is 4.3%, so the same colour means something different depending which one it lands on. A quilt carrying colour across the whole surface is colourful; a quiet one with a loud fabric over a small part of it is a pop of colour; one with no loud fabric at all is a neutral. Colourways made for a month are grouped as seasonal instead, because that is an occasion rather than a reading.

The thresholds are a judgement, and any colourway can be placed by hand instead.

Lineage, styled for a bedroom.

The same quilt on a made bed, in each colourway that has a room render. Find the one that looks most like your room, then change any fabric in Colour Lab.
