Compare four colorways of one pattern
In surface design, picking the pattern is half the job — the other half is choosing the colorway. This tool lays the same tile out in four coordinated palettes at once, so you're comparing color options side by side instead of recoloring one swatch over and over.
Set the tile, motif scale and rotation, and the board renders four palette variations of that single pattern. It's the fast way to present and decide on a colorway.
From open to export
- Set the tile size, motif scale and rotation.

FAQ
Why show four at once?
Because color is easiest to judge in comparison. Seeing four coordinated palettes of the same pattern together makes the right choice obvious far faster than recoloring one tile repeatedly.
Can I use this to present options to a client?
Yes — the four-up board is made for exactly that: a single sheet that shows the pattern's range without a dozen separate exports.
Does each colorway use the same pattern?
Yes — identical tile, scale and rotation across all four; only the palette changes, so you're comparing color cleanly.
