This is an animation from a series of sketches created while designing surface patterns for Aldea Home in San Francisco.
The process:
Generate a palette from the Spoonflower color guide.
Create gradients between colors within the palette.
Perform a pass of color quantization to fit the gradient to the color guide palette.
Down-sample the resolution 50% without interpolation.
Up-sample the resolution to desired pattern size.

Marbleized Color Palette Study No.5 - Bank of America

Color palettes are sourced from websites for various organizations, companies, brands, and corporate identities.  The palettes are then presented in vertical bands, arranged as they appear in the CSS code.  The resulting images are repeatedly corrupted to form marbleized textures.

A study of dithering applied to time-varying analog video imagery.
A slowly fading gradient generated using an analog Sandin Image Processor is rendered as a low-resolution animation.  Two passes of indexing: first using the Volcano palette in GIMP, second using 3-color image optimized palette.
