Olmetex, a technical fabric mill founded in Como in 1952, has woven around 200 colours from Amphicolor™ recipes to date. We spoke to Riccardo about what changed on the loom and why deciding colour at the weaving stage matters to a mill.

Performance Days has released its spring/summer 2028 colour forecast. In this look at predicting colour, we explain how colour blended on the loom removes the costly R&D process typical of developing traditional colour.

London-based material science company Amphico and Italian technical mill Olmetex have produced a collection of fabrics coloured through machine learning-guided weaving, a technology that enables a small number of base yarns to generate thousands of colours – all without a single dye bath.

Every garment starts with a colour decision. And that choice doesn’t just shape aesthetic, it triggers one of the most resource-intensive processes in manufacturing. Amphicolor harnesses nature to remove the constraints of colour.

Amphico has been awarded second prize at the inaugural Kering Generation Award X Japan, recognising the company's strides in colouration.
