Lion Fabric With Modified Color

Hi everyone! I’m not giving up on my lion fabric quite yet. I re-worked the colors on my lion fabric because I really want to use it for my upcoming Fall line. Here is what I want the fabric to look like:

LionNewGreen

As those of you who are following this series already know, I received my initial fabric that looks like this:

LionFabric

These are the changes I needed to make to my image to have it (hopefully!) printed out the way I want:

LionsModifiedColor

And this is the dress (maybe!) that could come out of it:

LionImageC

For those of you who are just coming in on this quick post, I’m working on a fabric design that I will upload and have printed out with Spoonflower. If you are confused about the changes in color and why I am making them, refer to Part A and Part B from my Spoonflower Fabric Development Series regarding color calibration. More to come when I get back my samples!

Love, Rachel

Gravatar Are you creating your files in RGB color and then converting to lab? If so, do the colors change when you convert them, or do they look the same? Forgive me if you already covered this somewhere.

Gravatar I am creating my files in RGB color and I am not converting them to LAB. Inkscape and GIMP (the free programs I use) do not enable LAB conversions. That is pretty exlusive to Photoshop.

This shouldn't matter to me, however, because the file I initially uploaded to Spoonflower was in RGB color and I am referring directly to the printed-out swatch sample that I received from them. I am using the swatch sample colors as the basis for my color choice because I know that Spoonflower can print out those exact shades. Make sense?

Gravatar I am interested in purchasing the lion fabric for a baby quilt for our little baby Leo. It is perfect and I hope you can help me.

Thank you,
Pamela

Gravatar Hi! Your fabric is adorable. My sorority's symbol is the lion and we thought your fabric would be perect for some family patterns. What are you charging per yard?

Gravatar I am very interested in the dark green lion fabric - it is brilliant. I have a 14 month grandaughter whose first words were 'lion' and would like to make her a quilt. Can you let me know how I can purchase some. Many thanks.

Gravatar I had Spoonflower print a design twice. Once the color was CMYK and a TIFF file. The second time the color was RGB and a TIFF file. The result was that the CMYK print was a closer match even though the opposite was true on my moniter. Have you ever used CMYK?

Gravatar You know, I haven't used CMYK and there isn't really a reason for it. Thank you for the color information...I will definitely experiment with CMYK colors now!

Love, Rachel
