Specifying by shade code

Why every shade has a name, a code and a hex reference, and how designers use them.

Each of our 90 shades has a code made of its family and its number, from 01 (lightest) to 10 (darkest). BLU-09 is Navy; BRN-04 is Camel.

Reorder the same colour

Because the code is shared with Mohit Handicrafts, a shade specified today can be reordered next year and matched to the same library.

Hex references help you plan on screen, but monitors vary. For exact matching, order a swatch card and view it against your fabric in daylight.
