Pattern Family/Collection - a grouping of patterns that complement or coordinate with each other regarding style and color.

Organic Pattern - free flow patterns that can be considered "of nature", utilizing curves, contour lines and other curvilinear features or irregular lines mimicking lines found in living systems. For this Air Force program, these Organic elements are to be more abstract than literal in their design.

Geometric Pattern - structured patterns that can be considered "man made", utilizing repetitive lines, stripes, checks, plaids, circles or other geometric shapes. For this Air Force program, these Geometric elements are to be more abstract than literal in their design.

Small Scale Pattern - a pattern made up of smaller elements that repeat approximately every 1"-12" within the pattern. Appropriate solutions may also include random elements that portray a similar small scale appearance.

Medium Scale Pattern - a pattern made up of medium sized elements that repeat approximately every 12"-18" within the pattern. Appropriate solutions may also include random elements that portray a similar medium scale appearance.

Large Scale Pattern - a pattern made up of larger elements that repeat approximately every 18" within the pattern. Appropriate solutions may also include random elements that portray a similar large scale appearance.

Random Multicolor Pattern - a carpet with a myriad of small points of random color placement on a field of darker color, without specific configuration. The random colors included are to be equal in concentration to the darker background, creating a cohesive visual appearance.

Solid Pattern - a carpet made up of only one color of yarn.

Heathered Pattern - a carpet made up of two or more colors of yarn, one a darker version of the other or, two or more colors within a similar color family.

Walk Off Product - a modular carpet tile product utilizing a scraper yarn or similar, whose purpose is to remove and hold dirt and liquid from pedestrian foot traffic, thus preventing it from being tracked further into a space.
