Pantone references can guide custom colors, but actual fabric still needs physical approval.
Color evaluation needs an identified physical standard and agreed lighting conditions. Digital images cannot reliably establish shade acceptance, and different fibers or surfaces can look different despite similar color measurements; visual review and instrumental data should be interpreted together where appropriate. Specify the relevant reference system and viewing conditions.
