Whether an object has an implied or genuine texture, its surface quality is referred to as having an implied texture. It is possible to simulate, invent, or create an implied or visual texture that mimics the texture of another object.

The tactile quality of an object’s surfaces, or how it feels to the touch, is referred to as texture. Instead of trying to replicate a particular object, suggested texture aims to create emotional or physical depth. Abstract implied texture is frequently intended to be ornamental rather than touchable. An depiction of plants that conveys the texture of the plants is an example of inferred texture in two-dimensional art. Realistic texture, which serves to replicate natural textures to assist give a page or piece of artwork a realistic setting, is the antithesis of inferred texture.
