COLOUR / 02

Surface is a decision, not a filter.

Keep an undecorated reference visible through development. It provides a useful conversation about the substrate, mould marks and natural variation before colour or print is layered over it. The sample chips here are generated appearance studies and do not certify the material behind a finish.

01 / FINISH LIBRARY

An undecorated starting point

Keep an undecorated reference visible through development. It provides a useful conversation about the substrate, mould marks and natural variation before colour or print is layered over it. The sample chips here are generated appearance studies and do not certify the material behind a finish.

02 / FINISH LIBRARY

A satin direction

Satin describes a visual direction in this fictional collection. A real project needs a physical colour master, a substrate reference and agreed texture and gloss expectations. Ask who will inspect the sample, under which light, and what difference would trigger a revision. Screen colour is never the final approval object.

03 / FINISH LIBRARY

A print direction

Single-colour print can define hierarchy with a small amount of artwork. Its final boundary depends on the actual part and process. Provide an artwork revision and ask for a decorated sample to review registration, legibility, adhesion and relevant product exposure. No process capability or durability is promised here.

04 / FINISH LIBRARY

Do not merge approvals

A colour sample, a decorated component and a filled assembly answer different questions. Record them separately. When a finish changes, ask which previous observations still apply and which need repeating before any production decision.
