Second article in Ralph Griswold's series on color complementation in woven patterns. It generalizes color alternation by describing which rows and columns are complemented with repeating binary sequences (r for rows, c for columns), and gives a formula for the number of pattern repeats needed using the least common multiple. Figures at the end show complementation variants of a crepe pattern, a fancy twill, and a crackle weave drawdown.
