Color symmetry is an extension of the symmetry imposed by isometric transformations and indicates that the colors of geometrical objects are assigned according to the symmetry properties of these objects. A color symmetry permutes the coloring of the objects consistently with their symmetry group. We apply this concept to bio-inspired generative art. Therefore, the geometrical objects are interpreted as motifs that may repeat themselves with a symmetry-consistent coloring. The motifs are obtained by design principles from stigmergy. We discuss the design procedure and present visual results.
