Colormatch is an interactive web application designed to help users explore and visualize color harmony concepts such as analogous, monochromatic, and complementary color schemes. Users can generate color palettes from a digital color wheel and immediately apply them to a canvas for creative experimentation.
One of the app’s unique features allows users to upload plain images or uncolored line art — for example, batik pattern outlines — and color them directly within the browser by simply clicking on each area. The project was originally designed to support batik artisans and small fashion businesses (UMKM) in experimenting with color combinations before producing physical samples, saving time and materials during the design process.
Problem
Many small-scale fashion and batik entrepreneurs struggle with visualizing harmonious color combinations before production, often relying on manual sketches or trial-and-error methods.
Goal / Use Case
To create an intuitive digital tool that simplifies the exploration of color theory concepts and allows users to apply color palettes directly to visual templates or batik patterns.
Impact
Colormatch provided an accessible way for batik designers and fashion creators to conceptualize color harmony digitally. It helped artisans reduce design experimentation costs and brought a more modern, technology-driven workflow into traditional creative industries.
Development Duration
The project was designed and developed over approximately three weeks, from prototype to production-ready version.
