Palette & Pile: a colour studio for handmade rugs

Published by Raheem & Son, founded 1927 in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, India. A technical note describing Palette & Pile, the RS LIVING colour studio for handmade hand tufted rugs: 118 original designs, a library of 400 wool and 100 silk shades, a bring-your-own-design upload that simplifies a clear picture or logo into flat colours, a one page tearsheet listing the chosen shades, and the hand colour matching step in which designers match each choice to the closest dye before the team sends a quote. States the limits: on-screen colour is a guide and not an exact dye match, complex photographs and gradients convert poorly, and no prices or lead times are published in the studio. Describes one manufacturer's tool, not an industry standard. Contains no prices.
