COLOUR & PATTERN DEVELOPMENT

Colour & pattern development

Choose colour, yarn-dyed or print references, then develop them around your use, fabric and scale.

01 / COLOUR DEVELOPMENT

A colour of your own.

We specialise in brand and trend colours, matching and sampling on the material you choose before establishing approved colour standards. Silk-cotton trend colours illustrate this development path; other materials can also be developed for your use.

A / FABRIC COLOUR DEVELOPMENT PALETTE

HERUN Fabric Colour Development Palette ·2027/2028

Combine HERUN evergreen directions with original forecast colours from WGSN × Coloro, Pantone and RAL; add A/W 26/27 context colours when useful. Trend sources, seasons, years and complete codes remain visible. The trend pool is updated by season.

Work back from shirts, skirts, linings or light layers: consider a dark-and-light foundation plus 1–3 marketing trend colours, with no fixed selection cap. Foundation HEX illustrates a design direction; confirm physical targets on the intended fabric. Selected fabrics support runs from 10 m.

B / BRAND-SPECIFIC COLOURS

Your brand colour, made into your fabric.

Bring your company or brand colour as a VI value, a complete swatch reference or a physical sample. Develop it on the chosen base fabric and establish a shared approval standard for collection fabrics, coordinated materials and repeat orders.

These examples illustrate colour recognition; they are not HERUN client projects. Your development starts with your own brand standard, sampled on the chosen base fabric and confirmed against an approved physical sample. The screen colours above are illustrative.

From colour reference to fabric approval.

  1. 01 / Supply the referenceShare the trend year and season, brand guide, full system and code, or a physical sample, with the use, base fabric and quantity.
  2. 02 / Develop lab dipsConfirm colour, handle and sheen on the target fabric, using visual review under agreed lighting and spectrophotometric measurement.
  3. 03 / Establish approvalRetain the approved sample and measurement conditions; agree colour-difference tolerances and batch control for sampling, production and repeats.
Colour codes, digital Lab and physical measurement

sRGB / HEX describe a digital display reference. The expandable Lab values are calculated from sRGB using D65 and the CIE 1931 2° standard observer. They are not instrument measurements of a physical colour standard or fabric.

Use a physical standard or approval sample as the textile target. Record L*, a* and b* with the agreed illuminant, observer, measurement mode (for example SCI / SCE) and UV conditions. Review ΔE00 and appearance across light sources; agree acceptance tolerances for the fabric and project.

Pantone FHI TCX uses cotton textile swatches. Keep the names of print PMS, CMYK, RAL DESIGN SYSTEM plus and Coloro systems with their codes. A RAL code is not a set of three L*, a*, b* readings.
