Texture refers to the perceived surface quality of an object, whether it is visual or tactile). It is an element found in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs, and it is characterized by its visual and physical properties). Texture can be divided into two categories: physical and visual).

• Physical texture: Also known as actual texture or tactile texture, it refers to the patterns of variations found on a solid surface. These can encompass a wide range of materials, including but not limited to fur, canvas, wood grain, sand, leather, satin, eggshell, matte, or smooth surfaces like metal or glass).

• Visual texture: Also known as implied texture, it is the illusion of having physical texture. Every material and every support surface has its own visual texture and needs to be taken into consideration before creating a composition. As such, materials such as canvas and watercolor paper are considerably rougher than, for example, photo-quality computer paper and may not be best suited to creating a flat, smooth texture).

Texture is an important aspect of art, design, and fashion. It can convey a wide range of messages and evoke various emotions). In addition, texture is also important in computer vision research, where it is used to describe the surface characteristics and appearance of an object given by the size, shape, density, arrangement, and proportion of its elementary parts.
