Colour story
Where this came from.
A flatweave rug supplied by the founder: rust squares on a chalk lattice, with charcoal blocks and a pale sage-grey cross.
SAMPLED for five of six. The ground is lifted — see its note.
Where each colour came from
-
Fabric A
#E6E1D6 -
Fabric B
#39342E -
Fabric C
#959F98sampled, 8.2% — the sage-grey cross. The only cool colour in the palette and the reason it stopped reading flat. -
Fabric D
#C2B9AAsampled, 13.8% — the warm grey lattice. -
Fabric E
#8D5B2Fsampled, 51.9% — the rust squares. The largest area in the rug; placed at 7.9% here, because at rug proportions it would swamp the quilt. -
Fabric F
#634F3Bsampled, 1.6% — the deepest brown.
What it does to the seams
Weighted by seam length: 0% of the quilt's seams fall below 1.25 contrast. Lightness range 67. Two darks rather than one — they read as doing different jobs.

- 2 of the 6 fabrics are dark. Two darks compete; one dark punctuates.
Contrast is measured on screen colours, not on fabric. It tells you where the piecing will disappear, not which bolt to buy.
