COLOURS
At Anna Charlotte Atelier, colour is developed through a dedicated studio practice where natural tones, material knowledge, and spatial perception form the foundation of every palette.
Colour lies at the heart of the work created at Anna Charlotte Atelier.
Rather than approaching colour as decoration, it is understood as a living element that shapes atmosphere, perception, and emotional balance within space.
All palettes are developed within the atelier’s own colour studio following The Anna Charlotte Colour Method.
This process begins with the study of naturally dyed tones from botanical and mineral sources, which form the foundation of the atelier’s colour language.
From these references, colours are translated into textiles through two complementary systems: NatureTone, the atelier’s artisanal palette of naturally derived colours, and Croma Code Colours, a codified palette developed for tonal precision and continuity.
Together, they allow the atelier to move fluidly between natural dye traditions and contemporary textile production — always guided by the same holistic understanding of colour.
Colour Systems at Anna Charlotte Atelier
All palettes are developed within the atelier’s colour studio. The process begins with the study of naturally dyed tones, which form the foundation of the atelier’s colour language. From these references, colours are refined and translated into textiles through either botanical dye processes or the Croma Code system.
NatureTone 🌿
The Artisanal Palette
NatureTone colours emerge from botanical and mineral sources, revealing the quiet depth and subtle variation that only natural processes can offer. These tones carry a soft, organic presence, where slight shifts in hue reflect the living qualities of natural dyes.
Used primarily in bespoke textiles and limited productions, NatureTone expresses the atelier’s commitment to material authenticity and artisanal craft.
Croma Code ⬡
The Precision Palette
Croma Code is the atelier’s codified colour system, developed to maintain tonal clarity and continuity across larger productions. Carefully selected non-toxic dyes allow colours to be reproduced with precision while preserving the natural harmony characteristic of the atelier’s palette.
Through Croma Code, the aesthetic language of the atelier can extend into architectural projects and broader textile applications without compromising its visual balance.
