How do we match your color?

Well the latest and greatest iPhone will not help.

It would seem simple enough to just take a picture and print that color. The human eye and brain though are way better, and also, at the same time, get tricked way easier than most expect.

We’ve all seen the dress that some people see as one color, and others see as another color. Our eyes and brain interpret and filter what we see. For instance, take a picture of a red car. Import that picture into a photo editing app. Color sample various areas of the red car. Each and every sample will be a different color code. Our eyes see ONE color, the computer sees hundreds.

On the other hand, we can print out a dozen different similar red sample color codes. When our eyes look at the samples it will see a dozen different reds. BUT take a picture of the samples and then look at the picture. They will all look alike. Even the latest and greatest iPhone can not match the human eye.

So, the only way to really match a color exactly is to use all the tools available. Yes, color matching tools save a lot of time. But they are only the start. The best tool we have: trained human eye… can fine tune the print and get the perfect match.
