Review: crawfordpartnership.co.uk/th…
I tested ChatGPT image generation with a deliberately awkward brief: create a 10×10 grid of 100 RAL-coloured roses, each with a code and name.
It produced a surprisingly coherent botanical paint swatch.
AI as colour storyteller, not just image maker.
#AIinDesign #RALColours
ALT AI-generated 10 by 10 grid of 100 realistic rose blooms, each recoloured as a different RAL paint reference and labelled with a RAL code and poetic colour name, arranged as a clean white botanical colour swatch.
ALT Close-up photograph of a golden orange rose in bloom, surrounded by green leaves, used as the source image for the AI colour-swatch experiment.
ALT Mobile screenshot of a RAL colour reference page showing the colour impression for a specific RAL code, used to verify the generated swatch labels.
Every RAL colour code matches. Every name is correct.
This wouldn't have been possible a week ago!

Probe into council housing scandal 'points to mass organised fraud' These homes were meant for people in real need. A system that can’t defend public housing from abuse has forfeited its claim to legitimacy.

Just arrived at Olympia for our first visit of the year to Top Drawer. Incredible number of exhibitors filling the halls.

Very lucky to have these views on our doorstep. We enjoyed the walk yesterday on a frosty morning with azure blue sky and views for miles looking south. #LondonWalks

And here she is🐺🌕
The Wolf Moon, draped in splendour,
Turning night into day with her incandescent, ethereal glow.
Then dawn arrived, electric and blue,
A sky without blemish,
Welcoming a brighter orb that blazed with plasma light,
Breathing warmth into winter’s veins.
Can Immanuel Kant help us rethink the housing crisis?
He argues the true task of architecture is simple:
a dignified home — not spectacle.
And that beauty isn’t luxury; it supports life.
