Colour Matching

Send us a swatch of the colour you would like us to match and we will do our best to do that for you. This service is by quotation only.

We can work with any sort of sample - fabric, magazine cutting, piece of clothing or paint swatch.

Select a white base cloth in preference to “natural” where possible.

Single fibre fabrics such as 100% cotton, wool, linen, nylon, viscose rayon and silk are more reliable for colour matching.

Polyester has some colour matching limitations. Some dense colours like black may not always build to a strong colour on polyester. Other tertiary colours like beige are difficult to match on this fibre. Although we regularly colour match on polyester, particularly for wedding and formal wear, we do our best to make the colour tone with the colour standard if we cannot achieve the depth of shade requested.

Do not choose fibre blends such as poly/cotton etc.

Fabric lengths are limited to 5 metres or less. Each piece is lapped and pinned at the selvedge to prevent twisting or tie-dyeing. Several lengths can be dyed at the same time. Trim and fringing is dyed in hanks and may need pressing after processing.
