In addition to the decorative elements, Indonesian traditional textile also has distinct signature textile culture on its natural dye, for example Batik Klasik Yogyakarta which is well known for its brown soga color, a brownish color obtained from the colorant's combination of jambal bark (Pelthophorum ferrugineum), tingi bark (Ceriops candolleana), and tegeran wood (Cudrania javanensis). Along with those ingredients, Batik Klasik Yogyakarta also uses indigo plant (Indigofera tinctoria) as its blue colorant and kapur tohor (Calcium Oxide) for pre and post mordant treatment. The designing of "Manékawarna" digital content output as content of mobile application would be a recommendation as it would be a data inventory media of Batik Klasik Yogyakarta natural dye. In order to make the color visual data suitable for digital device, the research requires fabrics dyed with Batik Klasik Yogyakarta natural dye ingredients and technique as samples for color identification study by digitalization method to obtain RGB color value. The natural dye color digital format data is designed to facilitate data preservation and its acquisition by individuals whom have interest on textile natural dye. *

Binus University has successfully implemented an empowerment program for the UMKM garment brand, Polu Kids, focusing on children's and teenagers' clothing. This program was conducted from May to September 2023 and involved a team of faculty members from Binus University's School of Computing & Creative Art and Business. The program comprised several stages, including the introduction to fabrics and materials, understanding industry trends, sewing training, creating simple children's fashion designs, and collaborative children's clothing design between the faculty team and Polu Kids. Through observations and interviews with the owner of Polu Kids, Ms. Okta, and her team, positive outcomes were identified. The results of this program include an improvement in knowledge about textiles and the garment industry, a better understanding of trends, enhanced sewing skills, improved abilities in designing children's clothing, and the creation of innovative design products. This empowerment program has created opportunities for Polu Kids to enhance the quality of their products and compete in an increasingly competitive market. In conclusion, this empowerment program provides significant benefits to the UMKM garment Polu Kids and supports the overall growth of the children's and teenagers' garment industry. This program also underscores the importance of collaboration between higher education institutions and the business sector in enhancing the capabilities of local UMKMs.
