Taiwanese floral fabric was originated from the imitation of Japanese textile and curtain cloth. An image of its own has later been developed with local visual experience and cultural memories after a 30 years’ time. The study aims to study colors of traditional Taiwanese floral fabric, collect and conduct systematic research and analysis on structure of color elements as well as color combinations for establishing a dedicated cultural color database of Taiwan.
