The aim of this paper is to analyse the theory and practice of colour of the Polish painter and designer Karol Homolacs. He was the creator of the original programme of education in colour and ornamentation at the courses held at the Technical and Industrial Museum in Krakow from 1913 to 1926. Homolacs was the author of books on colour and based his colour theories on the research of Wilhelm Ostwald. The Polish artist developed his theory of colour harmony, combining it with the principles of ornament construction. The aim of this article is to present the theoretical assumptions of Karol Homolacs and their practical applications in designing batik fabrics, kilims, wooden toys and parchment paper decorated with the batik method. As only natural dyes were used in the dyeing of fabrics in the Cracow workshops, colour combinations were shown on examples of colours obtained from popular dyeing plants. Since the book by Karol Homolacs "Construction of Ornament and Harmony of Colours" (1930) was published in black and white, the result was an attempt to reproduce different types of colour combinations in the examples of ornaments described in the textbook. In the analysis of colour combinations, Polish decorative textiles created by artists and students of the Cracow Workshops, found in the collections of the Ethnographic Museum and the National Museum, as well as in the Museum of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, were used.
