Coating Color Card

Color swatches for paints are collections of standard color samples, where standard hues are fixed onto cardstock through printing or spraying techniques. They are used for color comparison and selection, helping users visually match target colors. In the production, sales, and application stages of paints, they serve for color verification and communication.
Selection
When selecting paint color charts, consider whether the number of color samples meets the requirements, whether the color difference range complies with industry standards, and whether the material is close to the actual coating substrate. Observe the color consistency of the color chart under different lighting conditions, and check whether the color sample numbering system is easy to retrieve. Pay attention to the physical durability and fade resistance of the color chart.
