OVERVIEW
When it comes to finishing projects, color accuracy can make all the difference. Whether you’re a professional finisher, paint contractor, or a DIY enthusiast, getting repeatable color is crucial. Accessa Marketplace Solutions is committed to precisely delivering that – colors made and shipped accurately every time.
It is our goal to become your trusted supplier for color. Please make sure to read through the below information to confirm we are moving forward as trusted partners with honesty and clear understanding of the rules and guidelines surrounding color.
UNDERSTANDING COLOR AND BATCH CONSISTENCY
It is important to recognize that slight color variations can occur due to many different factors. Some examples are lighting, surface texture, sheen/gloss level, application methods, and certainly each person’s own visual perception of color.
Additionally, there can be color variations between color swatches, color cards, color decks, and the color samples made due to formulation differences. If you are not okay with potential color variations for a color swatch that you may be using during color selection, it is advised that your selected color swatch be physically sent to our color lab so we can match directly to the sample you are using for final color verification.
While Accessa Marketplace Solutions strives to minimize these discrepancies and provide you with the closest match possible, we cannot guarantee any color, therefore, it is strongly advised as an industry best practice that each color is properly checked and approved on a test sample prior to using on any job.
