To solve a seemingly "impossible" problem in getting the colors accurately communicated through online shopping, I have designed a colour chart of the official/professional names/codes of colours plus the colour samples in real fabrics (enough to make a lap quilt top) - Each time, I select colours that compliments one another and unusual - these 10 rich Blues and golds are inspired by centuries-old Moroccan Tiles.
Each time, I'll create 10 samples with a chart. When you get it, cut a little corner off every sample - also you can see the difference from the printed colour to the real colour of the fabrics. Stick it by their professional name/code. Before long, you will all have a colour chart with real samples. We need to prepare for future printed designs. When I announce new printed designs, you can see a design easily on your screen but not the true colours. With the help of your real colour chart, you will also be able to visualize the real colors! Once you are familiar with the quality of the fabrics and this long standing problem of viewing colours on screens, we'll be able to communicate like a pro!
This pack contains 10 blues and oranges to reds: They are Moroccan Blue, Royal Blue, Persian Jewelle, Turkish Tile, Snorkel Blue, Giner, Bright Marigold, High Risk Red, Red Clay, Garnet. $20/sample pack (10 pcs x 35cm square/color). Get a colour chart and samples now!
