Squares Pattern Type
All
of our patterns start with three somewhat dark base
colors and a fourth color which is used to lighten
and brighten the other three. This fourth color is
usually White, but we sometimes also use Tan, Yellow
or Gray for other interesting effects. The finished
product is called a "cane" and can be compared
to a roll of slice-and-bake cookie dough where the
pattern is visible in any cross-section.
For SQUARES we take two base colors and make gradated squares, fading them into the lighter color in the center. The third base color is added to equal parts of the light color and used as a background. The stack of squares is reduced and recombined to make a square cane with 64 squares on its face. In some color schemes the "squares" have mushed around to look a bit more like "pebbles" but we like that look just as much.
