The Latest Evolution in Peel-and-Stick Color Sampling
For years now, peel-and-stick color samples have been making an impact on how consumers choose paint colors for their painting projects.
Paint color collateral has evolved over the years. From the time of the industrial revolution, paint companies were making their own color charts and collateral. At the turn of that century, outsourcing to specialized producers started. In time these producers’ only business became the production of color collateral for the paint and related industries. With the advancements in POS (point of sale) color tinting, the color offerings grew exponentially, and accurate reproduction of thousands of colors was now needed. Color collateral producers rose to the challenge, but sample sizes often suffered, negatively impacting visual color matching precision. The new millennium saw the introduction of innovations such as ColorTac™ peel-and-stick color chips. This new type of color collateral was greeted with enthusiasm, and while they allowed the consumer to remove the chips off the card and onto a wall, their size generally lacked an improvement in visual color matching precision.
