A textile substrate for coordinating with other flooring, furnishings, pattern goods, or the like, having one or more patterns, colors or shades thereon produced by a process including the steps of constructing a superpixel to be replicated on the surface of the substrate, said superpixel being comprised of a plurality of contiguous pixels that collectively provide said superpixel with a geometric shape that can be tiled on said substrate surface, each of said plurality of contiguous pixels comprising said superpixel being assigned a color from a dither palette in a relative proportion to simulate a target color, wherein at least two different colors are individually assigned within said superpixel in accordance with a placement algorithm that precludes the assignment of the same color on adjacent pixels within said superpixel, and applying said colors to the surface of the substrate by tiling said superpixel in a repeating manner across the surface of the substrate such that on the surface of the substrate no adjacent pixels have the same color, wherein said substrate is one of a display or sample carpet or rug, and comprising a plurality of shades, colors or patterns of a color or product line on a single carpet or rug substrate for display as a selling tool.
