In a traditional textile color approval workflow, brands and designers send a physical sample for suppliers to match. After creating multiple lab dips, the supplier ships the closest matches back to the brand for approval. If the brand is not satisfied with the sample, the process starts again, wasting additional materials, slowing time to market, and increasing the carbon footprint of the textile industry.
Textile Color Hub enables brands to combine traditional and isolated components into a complete digital color solution to securely communicate and control specified brand colors.
Using Textile Color Hub, the brand creates a secure Color Specification Document that includes the spectral data for the specified color, the required tolerances for the suppliers to match, and the illuminants to measure against. Selected suppliers then receive automatic notification of a new job. They use the spectral data from Textile Color Hub to formulate a match, digitally compare against the digital tolerance, and submit the closest match to the brand for approval.
Textile Color Hub empowers brands and suppliers to improve sustainability in the textile industry.
