What makes color matching tricky?
- Subjectivity: Visual color matching — against a color card, for instance — is easy, but it’s imprecise.
- Standard variation: Uniformity is always associated with high quality, but different industries and products may consider different amounts of variation acceptable.
Why does it matter?
- Consumer perception: If your product colors are inconsistent, consumers see your brand as inferior or your products as cheap.
- Color communication: We see colors differently, and one person may see a perfect match where another sees variation.
Tools are now available to help designers and manufacturers accurately measure, display, and analyze color.
