Research Topic 032 / 200

Supplier color variation becomes apparent.

The same brand color diverges across shells, accessories, and packaging.

Research Focus: Materials, Color and FinishProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Establish color reference panels compared under uniform light and a formal approval process.
  2. Document how substrates, surface treatments and production batches affect color.
  3. Review color differences across complete products and packaging, then refine handover criteria.

Key Deliverables

  • Reference Samples
  • Color Handover Sheet
  • Batch Comparison Log

Verification Approach

Assess color consistency across the full product set and variation between batches.
