organic pattern
Different shades organized in biomorphic layout with curving or irregular lines.
An organic pattern is an amorphous or naturalistic arrangement of different hues or shades, using shapes that are difficult to define mathematically or which have the form of living organisms. Examples include branch-like formations and abstract patterns with irregular lines.
The arrangement can suggest living forms or remain abstract. Branch-like forms are examples, while a realistic picture of an organism is not required.
The overall layout is amorphous or naturalistic. Small geometric elements do not determine the classification when the arrangement as a whole follows irregular forms.
