Findings

Color symmetry can be effectively applied to stigmergic motifs.

The proposed method produces visually coherent and symmetric color patterns.

The approach offers a new avenue for bio-inspired generative art design.

Abstract

Color symmetry is an extension of symmetry imposed by isometric transformations and means that the colors of geometrical objects are assigned according to the symmetry properties of the objects. A color symmetry permutes the coloring of the objects consistently with their symmetry group. We apply this concept to bio-inspired generative art. Therefore, we interpret the geometrical objects as motifs that may repeat themselves with a symmetry-consistent coloring. The motifs are obtained by design principles from stigmergy. We discuss a design procedure and present visual results.
