Introduction

Color inconsistency is one of the most common causes of disputes in custom wearable production. From an engineering standpoint, color control requires more than visual approval.

Engineering Challenges

Key risk factors include:

• Material absorption differences

• Batch-to-batch pigment variation

• Lighting inconsistencies during inspection

Professional factories rely on Pantone references, spectrophotometers, and standardized lighting.

Buyer Strategy

• Always confirm Pantone codes, not photos

• Lock color references across all future orders

• Approve samples under standardized light conditions

Final Verdict

Precise color management ensures brand consistency and avoids costly rework in Whoop band programs.
