Embroidery is one of oldest and beautiful way of surface ornamentation. However, the revival of traditional kasuti embroidery needs to be twinned with ways to find new and contemporary expression in harmony with the needs and aspirations of future citizens of the world, while valuing the traditional. There is also a need to enhance understanding and to provide necessary support for professional marketing and adaptation to global demands as the craft moves into the new era. Therefore, the present study was conducted for exploring the possibility to enhance creativity by creating attractive and new color ways or different combinations for development of selected textile articles i.e. jacket and file folder using adapted traditional kasuti embroidery motifs for hand painting. Three color schemes i.e. triad, complementary and analogous were used to create three color ways for each selected design. Hence, a total of eighteen color ways were created for six selected designs. The color ways were created on computer with the help of CorelDraw software. These eighteen color ways i.e. three for each top ranked design were evaluated by the experts on three point continuum scale using developed preferential choice index. Top ranked color way of each design was selected for hand painting on jacket and file folder.
