Help! I was given a 1 inch by 1 inch swatch today by a designer and told to match it. There is no manufacturer or color name on it. Just the number 3359. The color is a burgundy.

Who is the manufacturer?

Wow Tony, impressive. No match yet tho. I would have bet that it was an SW color but I just went their website and according to their color visualizer, that number doesnt exist in their pallette. Frickin designers.

why cant SW or BM match it?

We might be able to, but the computer eye needs more than one inch to get a good reading to match.

Damn V, been down this road many times. Grab a fan deck and find a color that is closest to the color you have. I got away with this method many of times.

 

[vermontpainter]

Good suggestion.

my SW we do it the old fashioned way after the computer matches as close as they can. I even had them squirt a 128 of red on a lid for me, I would dip my finger in it, drop a drop in the can, have them shake it, and repeat until we got the color right. Took a while, make sure you add enough to your proposal to cover for it.

I don't think brother V needs this heads up. :no:

The color eye can do 1" x 1" perfectly fine. Just have SW worry about matching it so you can get on to more important things.

:blink: Did ya happen to ask the designer where she got the swatch?

Oh, believe me, there are no more important things than working out critical color elements with designers. And important things are costly things. We are well compensated for this sort of thing.

Timhag - The swatch came to me second hand through my crew. I still have yet to speak with the designer, but will be sure to educate her.

Bring it down to the boys and make them earn their money . . . They should be honored to color match for VP!

I've gotta do something for that dude. Is it possible to get a gift certificate to a bar?

I have used a 1x1 swatch before on the color match machine and haven't had much problem.

C2's colors used to have numbers like that. but they changed awhile back. I don't have the old deck anymore...
