Core Palette
| Color | Typical Use | Interpretive Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cobalt Blue | Background field | Depth + cooling psychological effect |
| Emerald/Leaf Green | Motif infill, vegetal reference | Garden echo indoors |
| Ochre/Yellow | Borders + accent geometry | Sunlight amplification |
| White | Negative pattern space | Breathing visual interval |
Motif Symbolism (Indicative)
- Star polygons: Order & celestial harmony.
- Interlaced foliage: Continuity of life; paradise garden invocation.
- Knotted strapwork: Endless sovereignty; political endurance metaphor.
Glaze Behavior & Light
Morning: angled highlight reveals micro-craze lines (age indicator). Midday: saturation reads truer. Late: warmer cast enriches ochre, softens white.
Restoration Clues
- Slight matte vs gloss mismatch = replacement tile.
- Hairline filled cracks with color shading = conservation infill.
- Micro numeric pencil marks (temporary) = cataloging during study.
Observation Drill
Pick one 12-tile panel: identify motif taxonomy (star / foliage / strapwork). Map color distribution percentages roughly — trains pattern memory.
Image Highlights
Bottom Line
Tiles function as a chromatic narrative tool — reading color intention elevates architectural immersion.
