Cotton Shopper SH

About the values above These values are indicative and do not constitute a contractual commitment. The realised shade may vary between production lots, and on-screen rendering depends on the monitor and its settings. To validate the product colour before a production run, we recommend placing an order as a trial lot.

Each value carries its own marker, because they do not all come from the same source. The starting point is always the code published by the manufacturer; the rest are calculated from it.

official

A value published by the manufacturer for exactly this product and this colour. This is the working reference.

conversion

The three numbers in the RGB column are R, G and B on the 0–255 scale, obtained from the HEX code on the same row by an exact conversion. It is the same colour in a different notation. It can be neither more nor less precise than the hex it comes from.

derived

A compound name such as “White/Navy”. Each component is taken from the official value of the same colour on other products from the same brand. Nothing is invented, only recombined.

approximate

The manufacturer does not publish the value, so it was calculated by us from the official HEX code. For Pantone, the conversion uses the HEX–Pantone correspondence published by the manufacturer itself, taking the closest code from its own catalogue. It serves for artwork preparation; for printing, verify against a physical guide.

estimated

The manufacturer does not publish the value, so it was read by us from the product photograph in that colour. This is the least precise of the sources.

textile series

For this colour the manufacturer states a code from the Pantone textile series (TCX/TPG), the series used for dyeing yarn and fabric, not for inks. We reproduce it as given and do not add a C series code of our own alongside it.
