It’s one thing to specify a precise colour at the design stage of a product. It can be quite another story ensuring that the product remains exactly that colour throughout a sometimes long, complicated and often international supply chain.
VeriVide’s DigiEye system in particular ensures that even when those involved in colour management have to communicate across continents, they all share exactly the same colour data and can view the same product images. And by using other VeriVide products such as Light Booths, they also ensure that everyone is viewing materials, components and finished products under exactly the same conditions.
Colour communication can be improved when all parties communicate using the same terminology, this is where VeriVide Colour training benefits designers and buyers. Colour matching training using Lightness, Chroma and Hue ensures manufacturing sites will understand your comments on their work.
The most important factor in effective colour communication is the whole supply chain needs to match the same colour standard under the same conditions.
The list of key stages that need to be involved in colour assessment can be surprisingly long. Adding to this, an uncertain outcome if VeriVide products are not used to ensure colour accuracy along the way.
For example, here is a list of the main processes a fashion garment typically goes through on its journey from designer to customer:
If the whole process has been rapid and problem-free because viewing conditions and colour data were standardised throughout, the chances are that VeriVide can chalk up another success!
