Real-World Examples
Mood Board to Pattern
A client mood board with sunset beach photos was used to re-color a paisley pattern from cool blue/teal to warm coral and gold tones instantly.
Seasonal Collection Update
Spring pastels (pink, mint, lavender) were shifted to rich autumn tones (burgundy, rust, olive) using an autumn leaf photo as reference, preserving the original design structure.
