① Why Color Consistency Matters

Color discrepancies in store displays can dilute brand identity, confuse customers, and undermine visual merchandising impact. For retail brands, precision = professionalism—especially for flagship stores or multi - location rollouts.

② 3 Proven Methods for Color Accuracy

Method 1: Leverage Standard Color Codes

Action: Provide Pantone/RAL color codes (industry - recognized references).
Why It Works: These systems eliminate subjective interpretations—what you see in the color book is what manufacturers match.

Method 2: Digital Sample Verification

Action: Request the workshop to create a physical sample panel. Compare it to the Pantone/RAL book via:
- High - resolution photos
- 4K video (capture lighting variations)
Timeline: 2–5 days (includes production + digital comparison).

Method 3: Physical Sample Approval (Safest!)

Action: If timeline allows, ask for the sample panel to be shipped for in - person review.
Why It’s Critical: Screen/photo colors can lie—physical checks catch subtle hue/shade issues.

③ Pro Tip for Perfection

For multi - material projects (e.g., metal + acrylic):

Require samples for every material type (metallic finishes react differently to light vs. plastic).
Test samples under your store’s actual lighting (natural vs. LED can change perception!).
