Color Swatch

Color charts are standardized collections of color samples, produced by printing or spraying fixed pigments. They are used for visual comparison and communication of color information, and are applied in industries such as coatings, textiles, and printing for color quality control, formula matching, and supply chain communication.
Selection
When selecting, consider the alignment with industry standards and confirm that the color chart covers the required color gamut range. Check the consistency of materials with the product substrate and observe color stability under lighting conditions. Evaluate whether the color numbering system is compatible with the supply chain and ensure that the update cycle meets usage requirements.
