Custom fabric printing

Colour Matching

Bring your exact vision to life with custom colour matching tailored to your project.

At Mereton, we understand that consistency matters — especially when you’re working across large fit-outs, colour co-ordinated interiors, or evolving collections. Whether you’re trying to match previous runs, align with brand colours, or complement an interior scheme, we offer expert colour matching to ensure your fabrics feel completely cohesive.

Details

What can be matched?

Pantone (PMS) matching

We can match to Pantone colours, just provide us the Pantone reference number.

Physical swatches

We can match to other provided swatches of fabric or chips of paint.

Avoid screen colours

Every digital screen presents colours uniquely, so we recommend selecting a colour from our colour blanket, or providing us with a physical swatch or colour code.

How it works

Colour match process

Request a match

Colour matching is available by request and must be arranged before placing your order. Get in touch with our team first so we can understand your requirements, assess your file, and quote accordingly.

Request a colour match

Provide your reference

Send us the colour you'd like to match — this could be a fabric swatch, paint chip, Pantone (PMS) reference, or even a clear photograph.

Approve samples

We’ll print a 30 x 30 cm swatch of your matched colour on your chosen fabric and send it to you for approval. Once approved, simply include the provided reference number when placing your final order.

Chair upholstered in a custom green velvet

"My partner and I couldn’t be happier with the custom prints we got from Mereton to reupholster our old armchairs. We brought in a photograph to colour match and they matched the green to the exact shade we wanted. These are the finished chairs, they turned out way better than we ever could have imagined! Thank you so much!"

FAQs

Will colours appear the same on all fabric types?

While we strive for consistency, many factors such as fabric sheen, texture, and even the inherent colour of the fabric, can slightly alter colour appearance. However, we boast a 95% colour match across different materials due to our colour management system.

Can you match specific Pantone colours?

Absolutely! We can match specific Pantone colours as part of our custom colour matching service. Just let us know the PMS number you want matched, or send us in a swatch and we can get matching!

Will my print match what I see on screen?

On screen colours are great to use as a guide of what you are after but not to expect to print the same.

The reason for this is that computer screens display using RGB colours (even if your file is in CMYK mode) and all computer screens display colour differently.

As our printing process uses CMYK inks this means that it is very likely the colours you are seeing on screen will not print out the same on the fabric.

We always recommend requesting a sample prior to ordering bulk so that you can physically check the printed colours and confirm they are to your liking.
